When it comes to the celeb world, we think of money and all the finer things in life. But some stars are not quite as rich as they appear. Looking good is all part of the fame game, but some stars give off the vibe that they are rolling in dough when they are really looking for their next gig.

By dressing the part and acting like they’re above it all, these not-so-fabulous stars pretend that they are at the A-list level. Perhaps they over-indulge and spend far more than they ought to.

Then there are those stars who are crazy rich but they don’t behave as though they are any better than the average Joe. They may have bank accounts that would make your eyes pop out of your head, but they play it cool and keep it real.

These humble celebs are not only talented and popular, but their attitude toward fame and fortune makes them even more likeable. Being humble makes them seem like the rest of us, and that’s more impressive than bringing home a paycheck with more zeros than most of us have ever seen.

Here are a group of celebs who look richer than they actually are, and a bunch who are surprisingly humble even though they are uber-rich. See if any of your favorite (or not-so-favorite) stars made either list.

20 Look Rich: Heidi Pratt

Best known for her time on MTV’s The Hills, Heidi Pratt (formerly Montag) seems to look like she’s an A-list actress. Perhaps it was all that plastic surgery that keeps the reality star looking like a million bucks–she did have 10 procedures in one day! But just because an actress (or reality star, in this case) improves her looks doesn’t mean she’ll get any richer.

She and her husband Spencer Pratt even blew through $10 million, proving that when stars get rich quick, they can lose it all in a snap too.

While the Pratts aren’t in the poorhouse, looks can be deceiving. Dressing the part isn’t always a reflection of how much is in one’s bank account.

19 Humble: Melissa McCarthy

Actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy is doing phenomenally. Her movies are always hits and she’s relatable and easy going. As funny as can be, the actress keeps audiences entertained and seems like she’d be the coolest pal to hang out with. She is obviously making loads of dough but the riches don’t cause her to act like she’s better than anyone else. Some of McCarthy’s movies include Life of the Party, Spy, Bridesmaids, Tammy, The Boss, Ghostbusters, This is 40, and St. Vincent. McCarthy is at the top of her game but her attitude hasn’t changed. Being famous can turn someone into someone new, but McCarthy seems to have her head on straight and knows that fame can be fleeting.

18 Look Rich: Teresa Giudice

Reality star and author Teresa Giudice seems to live a lavish lifestyle. We see her on Bravo as she deals with her husband being locked away for bank fraud. Even if Giudice does, indeed, have the money for her expensive clothing and jewels, you’ve got to wonder where the money came from. Giudice lives in a sprawling home in New Jersey with her four daughters who must be thankful for their extravagant lifestyle, but if they need to move to Italy if their dad’s deported, all the glitz and glam may be gone. Until then, we’re sure to see mom doing all she can to prove she’s still keeping up with the Joneses.

17 Humble: Ed Sheeran

Singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran is super-successful, but he comes across as down-to-earth and just like the guy next door. He never looks fancy or even particularly well-put-together, but that’s part of his charm and what makes him so likable.

With hit songs that keep on coming, Sheeran is a millionaire.

But his humble attitude and low-key demeanor are refreshing. His personality shows that despite all his fame and fortune, Sheeran is still the same guy inside. He could take his style up a notch every so often though. He can certainly afford a nice tux or a pair of designer shoes!

16 Look Rich: 50 Cent

Rapper and actor 50 Cent knows how to make hits, and with success comes plenty of dough. And any time we see him out and about, 50 looks fabulous. With a career like his, anyone would assume he’s wealthy, and as outsiders looking in, we’d have no reason to think otherwise. But there was a time when all the fortune was far too much for the star to deal with.

Living large and lavishly, 50 went through his money faster than it was coming in.

Since losing it all, 50 has recovered much of his fortune, so hopefully he won’t make the same poor decisions again. Still, had he not messed up by losing all those millions, he’d be a whole lot richer today.

15 Look Rich: Lindsay Lohan

If ever there was a star who could have had it all, it was Lindsay Lohan. She was on top of the world as a sought-after child and teen star, gracing the big screen with her adorable looks and proving there was a great talent to back up her fresh freckled face. But time and time again, the star would mess up, miss out on jobs, and create another story for the tabloids to devour. Sure, she looked pretty good most of the time despite her woes, but one would think Lohan would be living lavishly when in reality, she was losing out on making loot. She was in debt a few years ago. What would the cast of Mean Girls think of Lohan’s money matters?

14 Humble: Julia Roberts

Actress Julia Roberts is one of the most well-known ladies in showbiz. Her movies are always hits and her natural beauty pops off the screen. She has been at her craft for decades, making millions along the way. Some of Roberts’ movies include Pretty Women, Notting Hill, Eat Pray Love, Mystic Pizza, Sleeping with the Enemy, Erin Brockovich, and Ocean’s Twelve. Many other stars would have such fame go to their heads, but Roberts remains humble, never flaunting her fortune. Sure, she gets dressed up for the red carpet, but otherwise, she’s just like your best friend–simple and sweet.

13 Look Rich: Lauryn Hill

Singer Lauryn Hill is not only talented, but she always looks super cool and she’s quite the stunner. With a voice and career like hers, it’s a no-brainer to believe she has made millions.

But just as quickly as the money comes in, stars who aren’t smart or savvy with their finances can lose it all faster than they can count their coins.

That’s what happened to Hill, who skipped out on paying her taxes; she pleaded guilty to tax evasion. We don’t see much of Hill these days, but fans would surely be happy to fork over their hard-earned dough to see her perform.

12 Look Rich: Pamela Anderson

When we think of Pamela Anderson, we think of that beachy blonde who seemed to have it all. From her role on Baywatch to the countless pinups and photo shoots, the stunning star made herself a household name, and she’s still super-famous. But she may not be as rich as she looks. Perfectly coiffed hair, a flawless face, and a great figure look fine from the outside, but there was a point when Anderson wasn’t as rich as her A+ appearance led us to believe. She owed a ton of money to the IRS and even had to sell her ritzy home in order to pay up. So much for that Baywatch money… perhaps it was spent too soon.

11 Look Rich: Toni Braxton

The sultry singer has a voice that is priceless, but the impeccable Toni Braxton’s appearance doesn’t reflect her financial woes over the years. She was close to broke despite coming off as well-off.

After making money thanks to the success of her music, Braxton got silly with her spending and nearly lost it all.

She went broke more than once and is now repairing her reputation as well as trying to get her finances back in order. With talent like hers, it’s a shame that overspending led to her financial ruin. But if we never knew that the singer mismanaged her money, we’d think she was A-OK thanks to her always on-point presentation.

10 Look Rich: Mike Tyson

As one of the best-known boxers of all time, it’s hard to believe that Mike Tyson wasn’t always as rich as he seemed. Living a life of excess, the ear-biting boxing champ spent his money as though it grows on trees… and big money at that. Hundreds of millions of dollars went away as fast as one of Tyson’s knock-out punches, leaving him far less wealthy than he appeared to be. You’d think a guy like Tyson would have hired someone to look after his loot. But if Tyson wanted to spend on something super-expensive, there’s no one who’d be daring enough to advise him otherwise.

9 Humble: Sandra Bullock

What’s not to love about actress Sandra Bullock? She’s a great actress and seems like she’s so humble when she could have easily gone in a different direction. Her many films have made her a star, and with so much talent, we’re sure to see lots from the actress in the years to come. Some of Bullock’s films include Ocean’s 8, The Proposal, Miss Congeniality, Speed, Gravity, Hope Floats, 28 Days, While You Were Sleeping, Crash, and The Net. But fame and fortune don’t stop Bullock from being herself. She’s a doting mom and seems like she’d be a friend you can count on. Humble as can be, this star shows us that money is only a material thing.

8 Humble: Drew Barrymore

Actress Drew Barrymore has been in the public eye since she was a young child. From an early age, the actress knew what it meant to be rich and famous and she navigated through life under the spotlight. Although she had a troubled past, Barrymore seems to have emerged as a fine woman, a great mom, and an overall lovely person.

She is certainly well-off, but she seems like the money isn’t what shapes her.

She never goes overboard with luxuries and seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Hollywood hasn’t stopped this long-time star from being humble.

7 Look Rich: Brandi Glanville

Fans got to know reality star/model Brandi Glanville when she appeared on a few seasons of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Being on a show where money is at the forefront would make anyone believe that Glanville was as well-off as her cast mates.

But as the “poor” housewife on the show, it was evident that the tall beauty wasn’t nearly as rich as the other ladies in her circle.

Of course, “poor” is all relative, but when Glanville joined the cast, she was up against some super-rich Beverly Hills-types who must have shuddered at the idea of not living in a sprawling mansion. Still, many would argue that Glanville was the best-looking one on the show. Money can’t buy you everything!

6 Humble: P!nk

P!nk is one of the best artists of our time. She keeps putting out music that makes us sing along and gets us up on our feet. She is super-successful and her talent is amazing. Hit after hit, the woman can do no wrong, and thanks to fans all across the world, she makes a lot of money.

But P!nk’s humble ways prove that she’s still the same girl inside–down-to-earth and far from a show-off.

Some of P!nk’s hit songs include “What About Us,” “So What,” “Try,” “Get the Party Started,” “Just Like a Pill,” “Lady Marmalade,” “Who Knew,” and “Just Give Me a Reason.” With the success she has had thus far, there’s so much more we can expect from the pop singer. But we bet she’ll remain grounded and as cool as ever.

5 Look Rich: MC Hammer

Even in those loose-fitting shiny pants, rapper MC Hammer always looked cool and put-together. With hit songs that topped the charts, money was surely rolling in. Too bad it was also rolling right back out. MC Hammer reportedly spent over $30 million of his earnings on mega mansions, private jets, limos and fancy cars, and more. Before long, all that money he made from music was nothing but a memory. Now we can see MC Hammer doing TV commercials, but we still love getting down to “U Can’t Touch This.” Too bad he didn’t apply that phrase to his wallet!

4 Humble: Tom Hanks

If you don’t know who Tom Hanks is, then you must be living under a rock. He has been acting for years, making us laugh, cry, and everything in-between. Thanks to his success, the actor has made millions. But he never acts like he’s better than anyone else. And Tom doesn’t seem to show off his success by driving around in flashy cars or wearing clothing that’s obviously outrageously priced.

Just like many of the characters he plays on screen, Hanks is just as charming and humble.

He seems like a family man who just happens to be one of the most famous names out there.

3 Humble: Matthew McConaughey

He may not be just like your average guy, but when it comes to Hollywood standards, actor Matthew McConaughey is far from those folks who flaunt their money by caring more about “bling” than being humble. McConaughey has starred in many movies, all of which landed him a hefty paycheck. Some of his films include Dallas Buyer’s Club, Dazed and Confused, Magic Mike, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, A Time to Kill, The Wedding Planner, Interstellar, and White Boy Rick. With all the money he has made, McConaughey could run around in designer duds and flaunt his riches, but he remains cool and understated. That’s just another reason why fans can’t get enough of the star.

2 Humble: Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston is everyone’s favorite ‘friend.’ She is a long-time actress who has starred on both the big and small screen. Best known for her role on the television sitcom Friends, Aniston has seen great success even after the show wrapped. She has been in movies including Horrible Bosses, We’re the Millers, Along Came Polly, Office Space, Cake, Bruce Almighty, Wanderlust, and The Break-Up.

Aniston always seems to be a subject for the tabloids but it seems like little of what they write is true.

It appears that she is down-to-earth and not fazed by fame. She may have lots of possessions and property, but when it comes to her personality, she seems like a fun gal with a California vibe that’s easy and breezy.

1 Humble: Cameron Diaz

From model to actress, Cameron Diaz saw great success for many years. Her looks were always admired and her talent on screen was just as impressive. Some of Diaz’s movies include The Mask, Bad Teacher, Charlie’s Angels, There’s Something About Mary, The Sweetest Thing, Shrek, Vanilla Sky, The Holiday, My Sister’s Keeper, Annie, In Her Shoes, and My Best Friend’s Wedding. Now that Diaz is married and not as active in Hollywood, it is evident that she is a humble woman who wants to put her personal life before one in the spotlight. She could still snag the highest-paying roles, but Diaz is keeping it cool, calm, and collected.
