10 billionaires that live like poor people
One would expect that billionaires would all live an extravagant lifestyle.
Perhaps, spend a lot of money purchasing some of the luxuries they want at any time they
want it.
Well, sorry to burst your bubbles, but not every billionaire is interested in such lifestyles.
Some just live lives as simple as possible.
They can almost be regarded as poor people because of the simple lifestyle they have
chosen for themselves.
However, you need to understand that choosing to live a simple life, ditching all the expensive
cars, jet, yacht and the likes, appearing to work in a casual T-shirt and jean doesn't
make them poor people.
The word poor in this context is subjective.
It means choosing to go for things that are of good quality and well affordable, in place
of the very expensive ones (that they can equally afford with no sweat).
Anyway, in this video, we'll be sharing with you 10 billionaires that live like poor
people.
