Chow Yun Fat - living the below your means dream
https://shanghai.ist/2018/10/15/chow...ne-to-charity/
Movie star of crouching tiger , hidden dragon . Etc , appears to be an unassuming lbym er
I am guessing the tuxedo in the article picture of him cost more than 100 dollars. Maybe it’s a rental though 🤷

$6 shirt, $2 sandals.... that's 8% of $100 monthly, on clothing.
I would NEVER consider spending 8% of my monthly budget on clothing.
Obviously a clothes horse.

Thanks for the link. It fits in with the recent why not have a higher withdrawal rate thread. He seems like a happy guy with a generous nature.

$3.5 USD a day, guess he owns his house? Street food by itself is easily $2 a day.
Wonder how he pays for his utilities and house upkeep ..

I wonder if when he dies, will he leave any money to his wife (if she outlives him)? He says he will give it ALL to charity...

But considering that spending in proportion to one's networth - his is $714M - you are a spendthrift.
