Penn Jillette, the 71-year-old magician and half of the duo Penn and Teller, discusses his financial philosophy and lifestyle. Raised by frugal parents who survived the Depression, Jillette learned to save money early, working as a dishwasher and street performer before achieving massive success with his magic act. Despite his wealth, he remains frugal, famously buying a $50,000 bass used in the Jaws theme and a $22,000 electric Fiat 500e. He lives in a mansion in Las Vegas but insists on an electric charger as part of his contract, allowing him to "steal" power from the Rio Casino. Jillette emphasizes that his number one financial priority is his family, having provided round-the-clock care for his parents while concealing the cost from his father.
