What Do These Famous People Carry in Their Wallets?

Like anyone, you can learn a lot about a celebrity from the contents of their wallet or handbag. Among the most intimate items they own, these accessories contain must-have essentials to get through a day — or night — away from home.

Items can be telling of a celebrity’s lifestyle without saying a word. For example, a bag containing makeup, a change of clothes and Advil might indicate the owner is a younger woman with a propensity for nightlife, while one with kids’ snacks, a mini first aid kit and a notebook would likely belong to a mom.

Want to find out how the contents of your wallet or purse compares to a celebrity’s? Here’s a look at the essentials some of your favorite stars always carry with them on the go.
