Wealth & Money Quote by Liam Hemsworth

"I don't spend a lot of money on myself, really"

About this Quote

There’s a careful modesty baked into Hemsworth’s “I don’t spend a lot of money on myself, really,” and it’s not accidental. Coming from a famous actor - a job the public associates with private jets, stylists, and “quiet luxury” - the line works as a small act of image management: a refusal to perform excess. The little hedge words (“a lot,” “really”) soften it further, signaling he knows how these claims can sound. He’s not trying to win a medal for frugality; he’s trying to sound normal without sounding sanctimonious.

The intent is twofold. First, it positions him as grounded, the kind of celebrity who hasn’t been hollowed out by money. Second, it dodges a trap: conspicuous wealth can read as either tasteless or out-of-touch, especially in an era when fans track net worth the way they track box office. Saying you don’t spend much is a way to pre-empt the backlash that comes with being visibly rich while still enjoying the perks of being rich.

The subtext is that spending is never just spending for celebrities; it’s branding. “On myself” matters. It implies there are acceptable places the money goes instead: family, experiences, charity, home, maybe the quiet logistics of staying healthy and sane in an industry that monetizes your face. It’s a modest sentence engineered for a culture that wants stars to be aspirational, but not alien.
