The Quiet and Humbled Lifestyles of Hollywood’s Wealthiest Celebrities

Along with being a director and philanthropist, Mariska Hargitay is an actress most recognized for her role as Detective Olivia Benson in Law and Order: Special Victim’s Unit. Like many on our list, Hargitay did not come from family money and had a rough childhood when it came to being financially comfortable. 

Having an underprivileged childhood has allowed Hargitay to grow up to be a frugal spender. Like Halle Berry, Hargitay also is down-to-earth and regards that 15 minutes of fame can be a real thing. She always wants to make sure she has enough money saved in case her time is ever up.
