Shockingly Simple Homes of Successful People

Carrie Underwood

She might be the queen of country music, but Carrie Underwood definitely does not live in a mansion. She doesn’t even live in a city famous for its massive houses, instead, making her home in Ottawa.

With several Grammy awards under her belt and millions of dollars in the bag, Carrie could be living the high life, but she prefers a much more simple way of living. The down-to-earth singer even argued with the wardrobe department while she was on American Idol, asking to not be dressed up in expensive clothes that did not reflect her modest lifestyle and personality.

Paul McCartney

Sir Paul McCartney might be one of the most iconic and prolific musicians and songwriters of all time, but he is also notoriously tight with his money, almost to the point of being stingy. In fact, many of his friends describe the former member of the Beatles as “cheap.” At a birthday party he threw for his ex-wife, Heather Mills, he made his guests buy their own drinks.

You would think that with an estimated worth of $1 billion you could afford an open bar! It should come as no surprise that someone who won’t even buy his pals a round of beer has a simple London home.
