During his younger and wild drinking days, Leo was apparently known across the bar scene for being very cheap. It’s said he was well known for not tipping in any of the bars or clubs he frequented. While he’s certainly not cheap by those standards these days, he is definitely frugal with his spending (in a smart way). For instance, rather than splurging on expensive cars, he owns one vehicle: a Toyota Prius.
Unlike others of his level of fame and wealth, he consistently chooses to fly commercial instead of having a private jet, to both save money and protect the environment from unnecessary emissions. He is now, however, extremely generous when it comes to donating, and is known to be one of the top charitable givers in Hollywood, regularly supporting a number of environmental causes, and other causes dear to him as well.
