Mariska Hargitay
Mariska Hargitay is best known for playing a starring role as Lieutenant Olivia Benson on the NBC police procedural show, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. It was once leaked that the star made a whopping $400,000 per episode, and Forbes Magazine ranked her the second-highest-paid actress in the world in 2014.
While she has a lot of zeros attached to her salary, that does not mean she is constantly on spending sprees and looking for the new Gucci bag. She always plans for the future, because she knows that Hollywood is very unstable and things can change over night.
Carrie Underwood
As the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, country singing legend Carrie Underwood’s fame shot up into the stratosphere. Her rise to stardom happened quickly but she didn't let it change who is. In a Rachel Ray interview, Underwood stated that, generally, she lives like a typical American.
While she was dating her now-husband, NHL star Mike Fisher, she said the two would have date nights at Subway more often than not. Furthermore, she loves grocery shopping and cutting coupons. There is nothing more satisfying than choosing your own fruit and veg.
Mark Zuckerberg
Although Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook, making him one of the richest and most influential people in the world, he lives very modestly when you factor in how stinking wealthy he is. He wears typical street clothes and does not show up to Facebook Headquarters in a limo.
He got married in his green backyard and has stated many times that he is more concerned with his work than his wealth. According to one source, he is so unimpressed with wealth that he plans to donate 99 percent of his Meta stocks over the course of his life. So who are going to be the lucky ones?
Tobey Maguire
While the Spider-Man star has been the tail-end of plenty of jokes throughout the years, people may forget that he made a boatload of money for the role and is considered on of the wealthiest actors of his time. When the third movie of the franchise was made, Toby had made over $36 million.
The fact that he has kept his wealth under wraps is a testament to just how cautious he is with his cash. Tobey had a tough upbringing and learned how to be frugal early on. According to the Spiderman actor, material possessions are meaningless to him, and he'd rather have nothing than live extravagantly.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio could possibly be the most recognized actor in the world. All of his success and work have amassed him a great big pile of cash. With his standing as one of the most respected actors in showbiz, Leo has decided not to spend too much on himself but on projects that are important to him. He owns three Teslas, which are better for the environment, as he is a serious conservationist.
His foundation, The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, has raised up to $3 million for the World Wildlife Fund’s tiger habitat. Additionally, he has donated $15 million in grants to environmental organizations throughout the world.
