Jay Leno

Late-night host Jay Leno has revealed that he only spends money he makes from comedy routines. The money that he makes from “The Tonight Show” goes immediately into savings. Leno write:

“When I was a kid, I had two jobs. […]I worked at a Ford dealership and at a McDonald’s. I’d spend the money from one job and save the money from the other. That’s still the way I am now. I live on the money I make as a comedian, and I put all the TV money in the bank. I’ve never spent a dime of TV money – ever.”

Sarah Jessica Parker

This Sex and the City star refuses to spoil her son and still believes in teaching frugal lessons. As a woman who grew up with a family of 8 on welfare, it’s important to show her son that you can’t take your blessings for granted:

“[My son] only wears hand-me-downs because I’ve got all these older nephews,” said Parker. “I think it’s incumbent on my husband and me to really stress and to show James Wilkie by example what it means to owe your community something and that he is not entitled to the benefits of our hard work.”

Tyra Banks

Even though she’s one of the richest supermodels in the entire world, Banks says she’s always been a fan of saving money. Being frugal is part of being the person she is.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

This actress and her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., love to shop the sales at the grocery store. She sees no point in buying something that other people pay less for.

“We shop at Whole Foods, but we ask which fish is on sale,” said Gellar. “On sale doesn’t mean it’s bad! It probably just means it’s overcaught. And I clip coupons all the time.”
