Julia Roberts is one of the richest movie stars on the planet; when it comes to her marital life with husband Danny Moder, it seems the pair like to keep things frugal over flashy.

The Academy Award winner, 57, who has a reported net worth of $250 million, opted to celebrate their 23rd anniversary in a surprising and relatable way.

With that amount of money, they could have dined at the most expensive restaurant in the world, Sublimotion in Ibiza, Spain, which offers a 20-course tasting menu priced at $2,380 per person.

Or taken a private jet to anywhere around the world.

But instead, the couple proved that no amount of money can buy happiness as they enjoyed a very simple-looking camping trip together.

Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Moder celebrated their 23rd anniversary in a surprising and relatable way.

The Academy Award winner, 57, has a net worth of $250 million and could have decided to jet off to Tahiti to celebrate 23 years of marriage.

'You + Me = 23,' the Erin Brockovich star wrote in the caption of her tent photo.

Moder also shared a snap from their outdoor adventure. He captioned his post, '23 years is SILVER..here we are in my engraved SPOON! the fun continues... and a happy 4th to all.'

The couple married in 2002 at the My Best Friend's Wedding actress' 82-acre ranch in Taos, New Mexico, on Independence Day 2002.

They exchanged simple vows with no wedding party or celebrity guests.

The couple share three kids: twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 20, and Henry, 18.

Julia has always prioritized her family over her career and said that becoming a celebrated actress was a 'dream come true,' but it wasn't her 'only dream come true.'

'The life that I've built with my husband,' she told CBS Sunday Morning in 2022.
'The life that we've built with our children. And that's the best stuff, to come home at the end of the day triumphantly to them.'

They say money can't buy happiness but Julia and Danny seem to have that in spades and have no need for the flashy display of wealth that other famous couples partake in.

Julia and Danny keep their relationship out of the public eye, but recently she gave partial credit to him for her youthful looks in her late 50s.

'Good genes, leading a life that is fulfilling, and I have said this -- and I say it usually as kind of a joke -- but I do believe in the love of a good man,' she told British Vogue in January.
'I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy.'

Indeed, the Notting Hill actress said meeting Danny, 56, back in 2001 on the set of The Mexican was divine timing.

'The luckiest aspect of my work life/family life is that the success of my work life came earlier,' Julia explained.
'So by the time I had the success of my family life and had a husband and children who wanted to stay home, I had been working for 18 years. And so I felt that I had the luxury. I didn't have to pick one or the other,' she said.

When asked what the key to their long-lasting love is, Julia got a little cheeky in her reply.

'I always say that same thing and I'm sticking with it,' Julia told E! News in 2022. 'It's making out. Lots of making out.'

The Leave the World Behind star marked their 21st anniversary two years ago with an Instagram pic of them smooching, captioning it, '#truelove #heckyeah #fromhereonout'

'He's my favorite person on the planet,' Roberts told People in 2020 of her husband. 'I love spending time with him... His point of view is really valuable to me.'

She continued: 'Danny is very much a part of [our kids' routine] so there's only one little element gone - I like to think I'm an important element," she said of being away from her children while filming.

Her love for her husband and family has translated to greater happiness with herself as well.

'I just had my birthday and I don't think I had felt so happy on a birthday in quite a long while,' Roberts said.
'I think part of it is just the happy space that I'm lucky enough to occupy in the world, with my family and my friends - and I played Mahjong all day.'
