10 Frugal Billionaires Who Hate To Live A Life King-Size

4. Azim Premji, chairman of Wipro Limited
Net worth: $12.2 billion

Being the founder of the world’s largest IT provider, Azim Premji is a very frugal person. He strictly monitors the number of toilet-paper that is being used in the Wipro office and he guilds all his employees to switch off the lights before living the office.

When Premji returns back to Bangalore after his business trip he takes an auto-rickshaw to travel back to his home and frequently uses a Ford that is worth not more than 10 lakhs. This might probably look silly, but from this we understand how economical he is even after having a net worth of $12.2 billion.

5. David Cheriton, Stanford professor
Net worth: $1.3 billion

David Cheriton hates the idea of living a life like a billionaire. After getting net worth of $1.3 billion from Google shares, he told that "I'm actually quite offended by that sort of thing," in an interview with Edmonton Journal in a 2006. He added that, "These people who build houses with 13 bathrooms and so on, there's something wrong with them."

Cheriton called himself "spoiled" for taking a windsurfing vacation in Hawaii.
