13 Celebs Known for Their Cheap Habits: From Coupons To Worn Mattresses

Canadian musician Grimes, who shares two children with Elon Musk, once revealed that the Tesla founder does not live like a billionaire.

During their on-again, off-again relationship, Grimes said Elon wouldn’t even buy a new mattress despite her side having a hole in it.

He suggested they replace his mattress with the one from her home, she told Vanity Fair.

“Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line,” she told the outlet. “To the point where I was like, ‘Can we not live in a very insecure $40,000 house? Where the neighbors, like, film us, and there’s no security, and I’m eating peanut butter for eight days in a row?'”

Her comments were met with widespread criticism, with people pointing out to her that there is a difference between being cheap and living “below the poverty line.”

“Is anyone going to break the news to Grimes that being cheap is not the same thing as being in poverty oh my God,” one user said.

Another added, “Worst part is she doesn’t know the different [sic] between being CHEAP and POOR.”

“Very curious what Grimes’ idea of what poverty is,” one tweeted, while another wrote, “Everyone talking about grimes baby no ones talking about the fact that she voluntarily ate peanut butter eight days in a row and said she and a billionaire are living below the poverty line.”
