For most of us, the image of a billionaire is inseparable from such luxurious things as yachts, private jets, jewelry, mansions, etc. However, not all owners of billion-dollar fortunes lead such a chic lifestyle.

Today's selection features the world's most modest billionaires. They live in ordinary houses and apartments, travel in economy class and do not consider money the main motivator.

10. Boris Johnson

The true state of the mayor of London remains a mystery. But there are rumors that the eternally disheveled, angular and clumsy blond has accumulated considerable funds. Meanwhile, Johnson dresses in the most ordinary shops, does not visit expensive restaurants, and rides a bicycle every day to work.

9. Sergey Brin

Google co-founder is one of America’s richest people. However, he lives in a three-room apartment, and rides on the subway or Toyota Prius with a hybrid engine. Bryn loves to drop in to Katya's Russian Tea Room in San Francisco, invariably ordering borscht, pancakes and dumplings.

8. Nicholas Berggruen

The owner and founder of the Berggruen Holdings investment group, until the age of 45, practically did not stand out from the cohort of billionaires. However, at the age of 45, Nicholas suddenly sold off elite real estate and officially became a homeless man. The billionaire spends most of his time traveling, staying at low-cost hotels.

7. Michael Bloomberg

Former New York Mayor rides the subway, works in a modest office, and loves peanut butter. And at the same time, it occupies a very significant place among the world's rich with a fortune of $ 31 billion.

6. Chuck Feeney

Feeney is the creator of a chain of duty-free shops under the well-known brand Duty Free Shoppers. Chuck made his fortune of $ 7.5 billion from the sale of perfumes, liquor and other Duty Free goods. The billionaire invested most of his fortune in The Atlantic Philanthropies. Fini himself prefers to travel around the world, traveling in economy class.

5. Warren Buffett

The owner of a multi-billion dollar fortune lives in a house that was bought 50 years ago for $ 31,500. Buffett has no yachts and other excesses, which he calls a "headache." Billions of dollars a businessman spends on charity.

4. Mark Zuckerberg

The founder of Facebook celebrated his own wedding in the courtyard of his house, and during a recent honeymoon trip in Italy he was repeatedly seen with his young wife in McDonald's. Mark is also known for his modest dressing style and the lack of manners typical of the rich.

3. Ingvar Kamprad

The founder of the famous IKEA network owns a fortune of $ 3 billion. At the same time, a couple of years ago, Ingvar drove a 15-year-old Volvo. Kamprad and his wife fly exclusively in economy class, dine in cheap restaurants, and are frantically bargaining at the market because of the price of potatoes and tomatoes.

2. Amancio Ortega

The founder of the Zara chain dines with ordinary employees in the corporate dining room, drinks coffee in inexpensive cafes, and drives an ordinary car. Amancio’s only luxurious gesture was the purchase of a private plane for $ 45 million.

1. Tim Cook

Apple's chief executive officer says money is not a motivator for him. Cook lives in an ordinary apartment, dresses modestly and eats in the dining room of the Apple office.
