The lives of the fabulously wealthy have captivated society for years. Excessive frugality, especially when practiced by people who boast an exceptionally privileged financial position, can stir up even more emotions. An excellent example is Aimee Elizabeth.
The American millionaire became known through the show Extreme Cheapskates, which aired on TLC. Fifty-one-year-old Aimee Elizabeth has a fortune worth $7.2 million CAD. While many people would spend such funds on exclusive villas, exotic vacations, or designer clothes, the millionaire takes a more unconventional approach to managing her finances.
The world's stingiest millionaire
Las Vegas resident Aimee Elizabeth has set a goal for her monthly expenses not to exceed $1,300 CAD. She has developed her methods for achieving this. As it turns out, Aimee only takes a shower with a watch in hand at specific times. Moreover, she has been washing dishes with the same sponge for years, which she claims she wants to “wear out” before buying a new one. It's worth mentioning that the millionaire washes her dishes only in cold water.
I have the water heater turned off. It takes me 22 minutes to heat it up for a morning shower. I turn it on every morning and set it for 22 minutes so I know exactly when everything is ready. Heaven forbid I waste another minute heating it - she says.
Millionaire served guests pet food
The millionaire from "Extreme Cheapskates" has perfected the art of saving, even regarding her diet. To spend as little as possible, the 51-year-old resorts to radical measures. Aimee eats what her cat eats, which is cans of ground tuna and chicken intended for animals. There have been situations where the food intended for the pet was even eaten by her guests.
Once she made me a tuna sandwich, but I felt something was wrong... - her friend said in front of the camera.
However, Aimee Elizabeth knows that not everyone may share her enthusiasm for saving. The American millionaire also does not hide that her loved ones are already turning a blind eye to her extreme approach to saving. The 51-year-old is proud of herself because, thanks to her methods, she manages to save money every month.
I think when I go to these extremes, people see it, and many of them get annoyed by it. I don’t care. It allows me to save money - says the frugal millionaire.
Good methods for saving?
