She makes millions each year as a talk show host but doesn't see the need to spend her money on costly cosmetics and toiletries. "Some things you get at the drugstore are just as effective as things you get at Bergdorf Goodman," she told People magazine.
This NBA player (his team?) socked away 75 percent of what he made in his first year and upped the percentage after that. He keeps his payroll small and hired a personal chef – which is a tax write-off – rather than dining out with friends regularly.

Whether it's because she's cheap or because she wants to follow the latest fad, this reality star with a famous family (see photos) has apparently taken up couponing.

SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR
This actress (many people know her as "Buffy") loves to buy local, organic products, but she prefers to buy what's on sale. Plus, she says she clips coupons regularly because, "Why should you pay more for something that someone else is paying less for?"
This "Desperate Housewives" star (where's she from?) told People magazine: "I don't spend my money on sports cars or new million-dollar houses. I drive my cars for 10 years until they have 100,000 miles on them.

TYRA BANKS
This model and media personality apparently stocks up on hotel soaps and shampoos and is even cheap when it comes to hosting her own show. She told PR Inside: "If you drink water in the dressing room and don't finish it, your name will be on it if you come back on the show. That's how cheap I am."
WARREN BUFFETT
He is one of the world's richest men but still lives in a five-bedroom stucco house in Omaha, Neb., that he purchased for $31,500 in 1957.
