He was offered 100,000,000.00$ for one more season of Seinfeld and he walked away.  At that point he had the cash to buy most anything he wanted but still.

Good bit, but not sure he's the best one to give anyone advice on consumerism and owning useless stuff.  He owns 47 Porsches.

Saw his stand up several years ago.  Loved the show but he is a mid grade stand up st best.  Wanted my money and two hours of my life back.

Its good..but he also happens to own a $32 million dollar house in the Hamptons among other "toys" as noted above.  Sure its a small percentage of his income, but its definitely consumeristic and in no way simple living.

Don't get me wrong, I love Seinfeld. But quite the hypocrite in this scenario.





Talk about a large "garbage processing center"!!!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
