Live below your means...
For a regular person that is easy enough but for a celebrity that's gonna be tough.

She skimps heavy on her home then she's probably not safe and as a celebrity you definitely don't want to be easy access in terms of the public.

A smart wealthy person would target young upcoming actors to offer cheap housing in safe areas but they're paid residuals from their work to offset the loss from the cheap rent.

Taraji explained it well.

While discussing the evolution of recognition and pay disparities in Hollywood while on “The Real” last week, Henson, repeating a narrative she brought up in February, broke down exactly why her pay was significantly less than other members of the film’s cast. Making reference of her $150,000 paycheck, the “Empire” star claimed her six-figure check turned into a deposit of less than $50,000.

“When you start making that kind of money Uncle Sam takes 50 percent, so let’s do the math,” she began during the Oct. 8 taping. “So that leaves me with 75 [thousand], then I have to pay another thirty percent to my team who did all the work to get me that job. So, I don’t pay them 30 percent of the 75 [thousand], no, no no, I pay them 30 percent of the 150 [thousand]. So what does that compute to?” implying that her net income for the project was just $30,000.

She continued, “OK, so let’s break it down like this: You have twelve months in a year to make your money right. If you do a film for five months that takes you off the market for anything else or any other kind of coin until you’re done with that show,” she further explained.

Henson, 51, then explained when it came to banking on her talents her money wasn’t being spent on a lavish lifestyle of the rich and famous.
