They're Just Like Us... Frugal Celebrities!

Some celebrities are pretty savvy on how they spend and save their money.

Adopting a frugal lifestyle isn't just for us regular folks. There are a handful of celebs who earn millions of dollars (who have been frugal most of their lives) and continue to be so even after they've made it big. It's refreshing to know that some stars are penny pinchers also!

My favorite frugal celebrity icon is Zooey Deschanel. Her frugality has allowed her put a substantial amount of money in the bank. She has no credit card debt, since she pays off her balance each month. Zooey has millions more in stocks, bonds and real estate investments.

Here are quotes from 13 famous thrifty celebrities about their frugal lifestyle.

- LEONARDO DICAPRIO
