During her time as the star of New Girl, Zooey Deschanel earned a substantial salary of $95,000 per episode. However, she didn’t indulge in extravagant spending. Surprisingly, Deschanel chose to reside in a modest home in the Hollywood Hills, which she purchased for $1.69 million. This was considered relatively inexpensive for the area. In 2015, alongside her then-husband Jacob Pechenik and their two children, Deschanel upgraded to a larger, beautifully furnished home worth $5.58 million.

In the past decade, under Tim Cook’s leadership as Apple’s CEO, the company has experienced remarkable growth, doubling its revenue. As a token of appreciation for his efforts, Cook received a generous bonus of $750 million in the form of 5 million company shares, effectively doubling his net worth to $1.5 billion. Despite his considerable wealth prior to this windfall, Cook opted to reside in a modest 2,400-square-foot home in Palo Alto, California, valued at less than $2 million. However, more recently, the Cooks decided to move to a slightly larger modernist estate worth $9.1 million, spanning 10,000 square feet and featuring an extensive garage.
