American Millionaire Cheapskate Sparks Buzz
"Cat Food Cans Are Cheaper Than Tuna"

An American penny-pinching millionaire who owns assets worth over 6 billion won but survives on 'cat food cans' for meals has become a hot topic.

On the 4th (local time), the British media outlet Daily Star highlighted Amy Elizabeth, known as the 'poorest asset owner in the world,' who appeared on the American entertainment TV show Extreme Cheapskates.

Amy's life, as shown on the broadcast, was beyond frugal to the point of poverty. Amy's friend told the production team, "One day, Amy invited me to lunch. We ate tuna sandwiches, but they tasted fishy," adding, "When I looked around the kitchen, I saw empty cat food cans rolling around. It was shocking."

After the interview aired, Amy revealed, "I chose cat food cans because they cost 59 cents each (about 750 won), which is cheaper than tuna cans," shocking those around her.

Amy's saving habits extended to the bathroom as well. She insisted on taking cold showers to save heating costs, emphasizing, "Just reducing boiler use can save about 800,000 won (approximately 100,000 won) a month."

Amy's ex-husband, Michael Murray, also recalled that when they lived together, they always kept the boiler off.

Amy's net worth amounts to 5.3 million dollars (about 6.72941 billion won). Regarding this, Daily Star commented, "There is a reason Amy has reached the top position."
