Michael Sheen – A Not-for-Profit Actor
Even if you don’t recognize Michael Sheen’s name, you most likely recognize his face. He’s been in notable works like The Queen, 30 Rock, and the Twilight series. He has hit that sweet spot of being famous without being notorious, and we love that for him. In fact, he’s pretty lowkey and calls himself a “not-for-profit actor.”
It’s unconventional, but in 2021, Michael pledged to donate most of his future earnings to charities and social projects. It all started when he sold several of his own homes to bankroll a fundraiser event he felt very strongly about. It was then he realized that he had earned enough to live comfortably. Why does he need all the excess? This approach to money is pretty radical, especially when compared to Michael’s other wealthy colleagues.
