Sarah Jessica Parker Makes Her Son Wear Hand-Me-Downs!
By anyone’s standards, with the possible exception of Bill Gates, Sarah Jessica Parker is very rich. In 2005 she was estimated to be making $38M - and that was before the Sex and the City movie, for which she’s being paid $10M. Conde Nast estimates her current market value in promotional deals to be around $25M.
Husband Matthew Broderick is no slouch either. He made $3.5M for starring in The Producers on Broadway… and since I just saw Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on TV the other day, I’m pretty sure dude could probably live pretty easily on his residuals alone.
All that money! So why is SJP proudly telling Parade how her 5 year old son James doesn’t get new clothes?
He only wears hand-me-downs because Ive got all these older nephews. Thats the Gods honest truth. Plus, my mother saved all my brothers clothes. I am not kidding. I dont think Ive ever bought him any clothes. Maybe a new winter coat. I do buy him shoes, because everybodys feet are different.
I am generally impressed with frugal, don’t get me wrong. But she’s killing me! I am so glad that she decides that her child’s feet merit new shoes - maybe some day she’ll even think to get him some brand new socks and undies too!!

So what if she is a millionaire and doesnt buy him new clothes. Maybe she values other things like love and attention instead of “things”. Its refreshing to see a celebrity who doesnt care about what her kid is wearing like Suri Cruise-who can’t even go to the park without a fancy dress on.
