Kristen Bell is actually loaded. That’s right, the woman who plays the cocktail shrimp-robbing Eleanor on The Good Place is way wealthier than some fans may have imagined. With a net worth of $40 million, Kristen has more than enough cash to forget that online sales even exist. However, in spite of her overflowing bank account, the actress might have more in common with her super frugal character than what originally meets the eye. Like the down-to-Earth Eleanor (no pun intended), Kristen loves keeping her spending low and is not easily impressed by brand name glam.
But is it true that the actress actually showed up to a red carpet event wearing a cheap Target dress? We have done some digging to uncover the story behind Kristen’s Target-themed runway walk. Read on for details:
Chic Can Be Cheap!
Kristen Bell is best known for her career as a Hollywood actress, and few fans understand just how careful the star is about her spending. In fact, Kristen is so frugal that she actually showed up to a fancy red carpet event wearing a Target dress valued at just $45. Way to save a buck!
While the actress clearly has the funds to be able to afford a style team and high fashion gown, she opted for something a bit more affordable. And it worked. The super cute dress may have been inexpensive, but it certainly made Kristen look as stunning as ever. At the end of the day, why would the actress shell out the big bucks for something “designer,” if she found something better for cheaper?
Interestingly, the dress is hardly the only thing that Kristen has worn from Target. She has also been spotted out and about in assorted pants, blazers and shirts from the Minnesotan megastore. And let’s just say that the actress has successfully “worked” every single get-up, regardless of its price.
Keeping Up With Kristen
Kristen may not be trying to do any kind of Kardashian-level fashion spending, but she is always setting new standards for saving. Here at TheThings, we have reported that Kristen Bell loves all things cheap. Yes, that includes any kind of sale, promotion or coupon.
In fact, the actress has actually admitted to stealing coupons out of her neighbor’s mailbox in order to get the best deals. While we are pretty sure that’s actually a federal offense, Kristen didn’t seem to feel too guilty about her bargain thieving. Although, she makes it clear that she avoids any kind of mailbox snooping during the daytime.
If that’s not cheap enough for you, Kristen and her husband actor Dax Shepard have also managed to pull off what was maybe the cheapest wedding of the century. Okay, maybe it’s not the absolute winner. But it has to be pretty close. The pair divulged that they spent only $142 on the whole event. Neither Kristen nor Dax revealed how much they spent on change, but we suspect that they know the exact amount.
