American actress/activist, Gabrielle Union has revealed she splits the bills with her athlete husband, Dwyane Wade, who is worth $175million while she's worth $40million.During a recent interview with Bloomberg, the actress opened up about her anxiety about her finances despite being a multimillionaire and married to one of the top athletes.
'It's weird to say I'm head of the household, because in this household we split everything 50/50,' said the Breaking In star, who wed the NBA alum in 2014.Union said that despite their success, she still remains with her eye on the bottom line, citing their responsibility to others.'But in the other households that each of us have to support, it puts this - there's always this gorilla on your back - that's like,
"You better work, you better work, you better work -are you gonna sleep in? Somebody might not eat!" she said in the May 8 chat.Union said that despite the couple's collective success and wealth, she still remains in a mindset of anxiety and scarcity when examining the bottom line.'I think I just have more responsibilities for my money,' Union said. 'So, I get nervous: "Oh God, that movie didn't open, what does that mean? Am I going to have enough to hold everybody up?
"'She added, 'And I'm trying to find peace in the journey; not using my anxiety and scarcity mindset to be my engine, which is hard.'She said 'it's hard' to let that mindset go, but she's working on that.📽: @bloomberg

The Deliver Us From Eva actress resumed, “It’s weird to say I’m head of household because in this household we split everything 50/50, but in the other households that each of us have to support, it puts this…gorilla on your back…’You better work…somebody may not eat.'”
Union’s words didn’t sit right with some Twitter users who claimed the actress, who has a $40 million net worth, was foolish for splitting bills eventually with Wade, who has a $170 million net worth.
IF IF IF…the internet be true, he has over 4x’s her net worth. I speak for myself when I say, I would NOT expect my husband to go 50-50 with me if I have over 4x’s his net worth. He would be one comfortable brother! She should have to pay something, but 50%? Naw. I’m not going pic.twitter.com/jl0i0bHTtv

Others didn’t appreciate that she made it seem like she was living paycheck to paycheck when she was a millionaire.
She makes well over 7 figures the gall to say you may not eat when people work 7 days a week and can barley afford food is very pompous of her she ain’t going miss no meals!

This is sooooo unnecessary. As an independent,career woman, I don’t have a problem with any woman who wants to support herself and contribute to paying bills. However, stop this portrayal as if you’re living paycheck to paycheck! It’s not a good look when hubby’s got mega bank!

Idk how to explain it, but she’s always trying so hard
the more she trys to be relatable, the less she’s likable to me.
