1. Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio certainly seems like he’d be living it up. He’s an Oscar winning actor and is frequently seen holding hands with a young model, yet he’s one of the most frugal celebrities around. While he does own his own private island, the notable environmentalist refuses to fly in a private jet and drives a Toyota Prius.

Lady Gaga and extravagance would seem like they go together, but the pop superstar and Oscar winning songstress has made it known that she loves a good deal. Yes, Lady Gaga is a coupon saver, and she’s not afraid to admit it.

Keira Knightley is certainly a woman of the people. Despite having a significant net worth from her blockbuster films, she reportedly lives off of a self imposed $50,000 yearly budget as a means to stay grounded. She refuses to live an extravagant lifestyle in order to stay in touch with those who don’t.

Despite playing Batman in a billion dollar franchise, Oscar winner Christian Bale does not lead an extravagant lifestyle. He even lived with his family in a modest apartment and didn’t have a cell phone for some time. He once admitted, “Wealth doesn’t mean anything to me. If a robber broke into my house, he’d burst into tears.”
