15. Carrie Underwood

With a net worth of $55 million, Carrie Underwood is often referred to as the reigning queen of country music.

Since 2007 she has won six Grammy Awards, including the distinctions of “Best New Artist” and “Best Country Solo Performance,” and she has also taken home numerous Billboard Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards.

Despite this unbelievable success, Carrie has retained her relatable and down-to-earth personality, and these characteristics also extend to her lifestyle.

Carrie’s thrifty ways began long before she made it big in Nashville.

She states that she has always been frugal, and when she appeared as a contestant on “American Idol,” she would argue with the wardrobe department that wanted to dress her in expensive clothing.

Carrie states that she would never pay hundreds of dollars for a pair of jeans. When she appeared on “Everyday with Rachael Ray,” Carrie also admitted to clipping coupons as a way to save money at the register when she goes to the supermarket. However, before she purchases anything at the store, she makes sure to ask herself whether she really needs the item.

In addition to Carrie’s fortune, her husband, hockey player Mike Fisher, also earns a payday of about $4 million per year. However, Carrie’s frugal habits prove that she has remembered the financial savings tips she was taught when growing up in Oklahoma.
