Beyonce's a Tight Wad

Filed under: Beyonce

We never would have guessed!

Because Beyonce always looks like a million bucks, we assumed she loved to throw money around.

Turns out, that's not the case!

In an interview with the UK's Mirror, the top-earning star says she prefers to invest her earnings rather than splash out on pricey items.

"Honestly, I’m very frugal. I haven’t bought a car since I was 16 or any diamonds since I was 17," said Mrs. Jay-Z. "I have a lot of property. I’ve invested my money and I don’t have to make any more, thank God, because I’m set. I’m now able really to be free and just do things that make me happy."

When asked for the reason why she's careful with her hard earned money the hit maker said, "I want to have a long career, be respected and not go off track. It’s an effort to stay grounded."

The girl has a good head on them shoulders!

    11. 11

      She looks like she's recently been investing in a few buckets of KFC…



    12. 12

      YUCK…SHE IS SO FUGLY HERE.

      Why not spend some money. I understand to invest some of the money but she makes so much not to buy a car every few years of jewelry…she's a liar because I guarantee she aint driving her car since she was 16…unless someone else buys her a car and says she doesn't buy cars herself…get it

      SHE IS A LIAR



    13. 13

      beautiful. Wise woman…



    14. 14

      I also hear they save a lot of fucking money by not paying their club employees.



    20. 20

      good for her, but it's not like she's living ANYWHERE ndar like the average American. Home girl Is livinglarge. So, she does spend some money, she's just doesn't waste it like a lot of celebrities.



    21. 21

      Gay-rez, you're so god damn jealous of Beyonce. You're a fucking man, why don't you act like one rather than acting like an immature, annoying BITCH.



    22. 22

      "Just live your life… Ehhh, Ehhh, Ehhhh…" Yeah, she spends Jay Z's cash, LOL, not hers. It's better than hearing about her fk'd up w/ the IRS like Ruben Studdard or like the rappers with 8 chains on their necks. As long as she's comfortable… Psshhhhh!!!



    23. 23

      Oh please she doesn't spend HER money because Jay-Z buys her cars and diamonds! Look at her, she's always diva'd out and wearing expensive crap, this bitch is NOT frugal!



    24. 24

      I hate Beyonce.



    25. 25

      Bitch bought a $31,000 LV bag a few years ago — HYPOCRITEEEEE!

      Beyonce is one of the most idiotic, annoying, uneducated pieces of shit on the planet. And thats saying alot.



    27. 27

      she donated all her earnings from Cadillac Records to a heroin addict rehab clinic—you gotta respect the DIVA

      Re: LG puts the BASS in her walk! – Hi LG, you know Laura is dead right from a clot in her head! I loved her. B is looking good! Smart girl.
      Playing some Laura B. in my Ipod right now.



    29. 29

      tight wad my ass, obviously not saving to much if she has a black card.



    30. 30

      What an arrogant bitch. It's nothing but arrogance to brag about how many houses she when most people cannot even afford ONE. Most people have to pay a mortgage off for 30 or 40 years from two combined incomes just so that they can own their own shitty and small home at age 60. Then again…..what education does she have?



    31. 31

      great bod. smart girl too. thats good to invest. she can buy whatever she wants too on top of it.



    32. 32

      Smart and gorgeous! Too bad she doesn't have it all. Having it all would be a sexy and gorgeous hubby to cuddle up with at night. He looks like a macarel.



    33. 33

      GOD I CAN'T STAND HER FUCKIN' ROOTS!!!!!!! THAT'S SO DISGUSTING! A BOX OF HAIR DYE COSTS AROUND 7 DOLLARS! "INVEST" SOME MONEY IN THAT! UGHHH! I HATE RICH PEOPLE THAT ARE CHEAP.



    34. 34

      For someone who is always singing about the material things she got - I don't believe it! This is just some nonsense to make her seem more down to earth than what she really is. Just saying.



    35. 35

      JAY-Z let her out of the house LOOKING like THAT and he didnt tell her anything??????? lol

      She doesn't have to; her mans be buyin' her shit. Don't you listen to his music?



    37. 37

      People, people, people!….

      This is one smart young lady! She should invest her money while she has the opportunity. Why the negativity? She should plan for the future.

      She is so wonderfully classy. "B" out-classes any of the young starlets in her age group. She is a fantastic role model as well. Why would anyone begrudge her saving and investing her hard earned money?

      This is a far better story than hearing about those losers out there drinking, drugging and spending all in the name of fame — only to wake up 10 years later, a nobody with a missed opportunity.

      Lindsay, who? Nichole, what? Ashely, ha!



    38. 38

      Bitch please! every time u turn around there a pic of her shopping somewhere. business savvy? beyowulf didnt even gradudate high school..

      respected? as long as u keep spreading your legs on stage that will never happen..long career..sure as long as she keeps stealing from other artists..grounded? omg is she serious roflmao



    39. 39

      She is completely full of shit. A big boring turd. She pretends that she is perfect and I think she's a little crazy in the head.



    40. 40

      SHe is lying. That bitch spends money going and comming. If she didnt like money, she wouldnt have married that ugly ass muther fucker jay z



    41. 41

      good for her, she's smart…and I'm glad she's said it publically, the media needs to show kids how to behave with money.

      Sorry, the only good head on her shoulders is choosing a man with more money than Oprah (or close to it) so that she doesn't HAVE to spend a cent of her own money anymore. Girl still gets plenty of diamonds, trust.



    43. 43

      Miss Tina raised her right! Love this golden girl!

      That's wise she invests her money, but it doesn't hurt when designers give her things for free because she's a celebrity, which I'm sure happens quite often.



    46. 46

      If you have ever worked in a restaurant you know blacks stink when it comes to tipping They Just Wants Hep they never give it? If she is a Tight Wad my guess it is the only thing about her that is TIGHT?



    47. 47

      Neither she nor Jay Z tip!!!



    48. 48

      She doesn't have to buy anything…for some fucked up reason rich celebrities like this whore get things "GIVEN" to them for free!!!!! It's not fair, they have the money to spend but companies like benz, harry winston, vera wang, etc send this free-loaders shit just so they can be seen with there merchandise…it sucks any way you look at!!!



    49. 49

      Theres me thinking everyone "star" likes to splash on the diamonds just as well I mean im sick of the crap people buy I mean 5 cars really?



    50. 50

      well she makes a refreshing change from the lindsey and paris set… also she's worked like a dog since she was a child. i bet she'll have some kids, eat some doughnuts and relax already. sounds like a good plan to me!



    51. 51

      LOL at Beyonce being a Tighta$$



    52. 52

      yes she looks pretty there thank god someone put he in a straight jacket dress so she cant lift her arms as for the money hoarding i guess she knows one day her 5 mins will be up



    53. 53

      Re: LG puts the BASS in her walk! – kisses LG….love the new avi



    54. 54

      Wow Beyonce has everything and she gone be getting lots more with her tour can't wait ready to get my Sasha on



    55. 55

      investing money in property… gee that's wise, especially when the prices of houses and land are in freefall. she'd actually be smarter to buy jewelry, at least gold/silver/diamonds hold value.



    56. 56

      Hasn't purchased Diamonds since she was 17? I don't believe that. In the Amex ad she said that her "most recent extravagant purchase" was Diamond Lorraine Swartz monkeys (see, hear, and fear no evil). Hum. Jay-Z bought her a $300,000+ Maybach so I guess she didn't have to buy another. PLUS she gets SO MUCH free shit! She shouldn't have to shot but I'm sure she does from time to time. But kudos…



    57. 57

      Good for her!
      Now!
      If she can invest 3 million dollars on me
      it'd be so awesome!



    58. 58

      i'm impressed she said that. Because she's right. Shrewd



    59. 59

      BARGE-ASS !!! THEN WHY WOULD BARGE DO THE MOST RIDICULOUS SONG SO FAR THIS CENTUARY !!!PUT A RING ON IT !!! - ITS TOTAL ILL - ADVISED
      SHIT !!! HHER FAT THIGHS IN THE VIDEO LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE A LIFE ALL OF THIER OWN - GROSS !!!



    60. 60

      I guess it makes sense….. but I remember she didn't want to pay her back-up dancers when she did that B'day video Anthology, so bish really is frugal, *shaking my head*



    61. 61

      Isnt she lucky that she gets free diamonds, clothes etc when she earns alot of money. All the stars should give their free stuff to people in need!



    62. 62

      Wow, why don't more girls look up to her instead of airheads like Paris Hilton and Britney?!



    63. 63

      hahaha did she really say that?…what about that exclusive louie bag that she and only like 20 other people have that costs 50 G's? good one sasha.
