We are already used to people who like to boast about their enormous wealth on social media – showing, for example, luxurious holidays in the tropics, extremely expensive cars and gigantic mansions. However, not all rich people choose to live in luxury. Some people consciously choose an average lifestyle and spend most of their earnings, for example, on charity. They claim that spending fabulous sums on new material goods does not give them true happiness and fulfillment.
Interviews with such people were conducted by the American portal “Fortune”. She was one of the interviewees
American billionaire philanthropist Mitzi Perdue. Her late his father was a co-founder of the Sheraton hotel company, and his father – also deceased – was the chairman and president of the management board of one of the largest poultry producers in the USA. The shares that Mitzi Perdue currently holds are worth billions of dollars.
Millionaire women live as if they had no money. “We had the biggest bill with a shoemaker”
However, this does not matter to Mitzi, because the rich woman has chosen a modest life. It is also very economical. In an interview with Fortune, she emphasized that she acquired this feature from her family home. It also guided her husband’s family. They were married for 17 years until his death. “At that time, we had the highest shoemaker bill in Maryland because instead of throwing away the shoes, we had them repaired,” she recalled. Although her husband employed a total of 20,000 people, the couple always chose, for example, economy class flights.
Mitzi Perdue still lives in Maryland and is involved in broadly understood charitable activities. As part of its support, it purchased police vehicles for Ukrainians fighting for freedom. According to Fortune.com, the woman traveled around Ukraine “during air raids, conducting interviews in shelters and meeting with police chiefs in war-torn Kiev.”
