[Respect] Chow Yun-fat lives on just $100 a month, will donate away entire $714m

[micromachine]

Showing once again why he’s the most down to earth movie star around, Hong Kong film legend Chow Yun-fat reportedly lives on just HK$800 ($102) a month, saving up his money so that one day he can leave it all to charity.

Chow’s wife, Jasmine Tan, says that her husband manages to live so frugally in one of the world’s most expensive cities by frequenting street food stalls and rarely buying new things, according to an Oriental Daily report from last week. For example, for 17 years, Chow stuck with his trusty Nokia flip phone, only recently purchasing a new smartphone when his old device finally stopped working.

The 63-year-old Chow is often seen riding public transportation where he rocks a simple wardrobe — a shirt costing him 98 yuan ($14) and sandals costing another 15 yuan ($2). When asked why he likes to shop at discount shops despite his tremendous net worth, Chow replies, “I don’t wear clothes for other people. I just wear whatever I find comfortable.”

Somebody should inform the wife she gets to keep half the assets if she divorce him. And use the money to wine and dine.

Inspite of the unhealthy McDonald's food, it looks like Warren Buffett is a healthy older gentleman.

He may be a successful and rich actor, but he and his wife are childless. So he is already a loser and he knows it.

What's the point of having so much money if he is so stingy and reluctant to spend it and return it back to the society?
