When you think of celebrities, images of private jets, gold-plated dinnerware, and opulent lifestyles where they don't have to lift a finger (thanks to the heavy jewelry, of course) often come to mind. But surprisingly, there are some celebrities who collect McDonald's coupons and even sleep on worn-out mattresses despite the billions in their bank account. Here's a list of celebrities who have been called out for their thrifty ways in the past.
#1 Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan was once embarrassed at a hotel in Las Vegas by former ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky for the way he tipped a cocktail waitress, according to Rich Strafella, former VP of Hard Rock Hotel in Sin City.
“I remember a night when Wayne Gretzky insulted Michael Jordan at the table. It was a private salon game. Michael had ordered a drink from the cocktail waitress, and he gave her a five-dollar chip,” Rich said.
“Wayne took it off the cocktail waitress’s tray, gave it back to Michael, grabbed a hundred-dollar chip from Michael’s stack, and put it on the cocktail waitress’s tray. Then he said, ‘That’s how we tip in Las Vegas, Michael,’” Rich added.
