Minimalism is a form of living that has been adopted in different forms by many different individuals on different ranges of the wealth scale or lifestyle situations. This type of living is a choice and is often differently applied to individuals. The general idea behind minimalism is to reassess life’s priorities and choose to focus more on things that are truly meaningful to your goals, situation, health, and more. With what we know about celebrities it’s pretty hard to believe any of them would practice this. However, some famous individuals choose to live a life with some amount of reserve. Here are some celebs who practice minimalism.
Rachel Ray
Well-known cook, Rachel Ray has a full career going on and off the screen with her books, television appearances, cooking, and more. But in her home, she tends to stick to the principles of minimalistic design in the color scheme and setup of it. Whites, grays, and carefully arranged furniture are all a part of her Southampton retreat.
Robert Pattinson
Twilight star Robert Pattinson has spoken up to some interviewers about his take on material items, stating he’s “not one for comforts and stuff”. He doesn’t spend much money on items besides a recent purchase of a guitar. In fact, despite earning so much money he prefers the small dingy apartment he had in London when he was unemployed over his current living situations.
Jane Siberry
Singer Jane Siberry came to a realization recently in her life where she decided to move away from the materialistic and busy setup of celebrity life. In fact, she made all of her music free to access, got rid of a lot of her belongings, and moved to a cabin in Ontario where she can live more peacefully away from the crazy life she had before.
Vincent Kartheiser
Vincent Kartheiser, a famous actor, began to turn towards a minimalistic lifestyle and thinking pattern when he realized how much of his stuff was items he never used or wanted in his life. He began giving away much of his possessions to charity and to others choosing to keep what was actually finding use in his life, which is a common form of minimalism.
Keanu Reeves
This actor may not necessarily claim to practice minimalism, but he definitely keeps himself humble and down to earth in every way he can. The actor gave away supposedly 85% of his earnings for his role in The Matrix to other workers onset, is seen taking the subway and trying to live “normally” often, and much more.
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs practices a very strict form of minimalism in his life where he has completely dedicated himself to the idea. He keeps only a strict few items in his home that are completely useful, reduces his choices and actions to keep the most impactful or useful only, and much more. The man not only practices physical minimalism but also has the mentality down.
Most celebrities are considered loud and focused on material possessions by many of us that watch their lives, as they own many expensive items or focus on their wealth and so on. But this list proves to you that there are some individuals with fame who still choose to divert their attention to more important items and efforts such as personal well-being, charitable causes, and more. Minimalism doesn’t always mean having fewer possessions, either. This makes it easier for some celebs to practice some degree of minimalism in their own lives on and off the attention of the public.
