All of us once imagine what we would do if we became a billionaire. Some say that they would move out of their budget apartment and buy a sprawling mansion. some talk about luxury vacations or whirlwind dinners. But not all react that way when they have some cool millions chilling in their bank account.
Plenty of celebs prefer to lead humble lives: making cakes, gardening, or shopping at a flea market. They are unfettered by massive credit card debt and castle-like properties. While a few want to save their money for the future, many are afraid of losing authentic connections with normal people once they enjoy a luxurious life.
Famous people who seemingly forgot they are billionaires prove that not everyone needs to live glamorously.
