Julia Roberts' VERY simple celebration for 23rd wedding anniversary despite being worth $250million
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.
'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 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.'
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.'

Nicola Peltz makes pointed remarks about family amid fears Brooklyn Beckham risks ruining his 'close bond' with sister Harper by overshadowing her 14th birthday with feud
Nicola Peltz made a series of pointed remarks about family amid fears Brooklyn Beckham risks ruining his 'close bond' with sister Harper. On Sunday, it was claimed Brooklyn and Nicola's feud with the Beckhams could overshadow Harper's upcoming 14th birthday on July 10. Sources claimed there was fear Harper could be 'collateral damage' should they fail to acknowledge her birthday celebration as the feud with her parents escalates. As the reports emerged, Nicola took to Instagram to share a series of photographs in which she gushed over her billionaire father Nelson Peltz and joked that her Labubu dolls were her family. She shared a snap of the coveted Pop Mart dolls in a row, captioning the snap: 'our little family', before posting another snap of one of the dolls, writing: 'my mom just gets it.' Nicola also shared a selfie on a yacht before rounding off her posts with a snap hugging her father that she captioned: 'i love you so much dad'. Nicola's posts come amid fears Brooklyn and Nicola will fail to acknowledge Harper's birthday on Thursday. Amid his escalating feud with his family, the pair failed to publicly acknowledge David's milestone 50th birthday on May 8. David and Victoria's 26th wedding anniversary also passed without mention, despite the former Manchester United and England footballer referencing Brooklyn in his own post. And sources fear Harper could be 'collateral damage' should they fail to acknowledge her birthday celebration as the feud with her parents escalates. An insider told The Mirror: 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn. 'They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers. 'But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.' David previously thanked wife Victoria for their 'beautiful children' as the couple both acknowledged estranged son Brooklyn while celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary on July 4. The former footballer who also shares sons Romeo, 20, and Cruz, 22 with the ex Spice Girl, 51, shared a series of throwback snaps of the family in happier times. Declaring his love for Victoria, who he referred to as Lady Beckham following his Knighthood, he wrote: '26 years today you said YES to me Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together.' He went on to tag his children including estranged son Brooklyn. Victoria, 51, also tagged her eldest son, captioning her post: 'Another year, another chapter in our love story. 'I'm so proud of the beautiful family and life we've built together. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much @davidbeckham. Here's to 26 years!!' Despite the apparent olive branch, insider believe Brooklyn will not be in attendance when Harper turns thirteen on Thursday. The source added: 'He took a stand and missed his dad's 50th so he's not likely to suddenly do a U-turn and forget everything that's happened, as much as he loves Harper. 'But if he did, it could a much-needed olive branch to start repairing things. An end to the family drama would be the best birthday present Harper – and her parents – could ask for.' MailOnline has contacted a representative for further comment. Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother's birthday, a far cry from his usual sweet posts about her. Neither the former photographer nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st, while David, Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages. And as well as snubbing dad David's birthday online, he also was notably absent from all of his 50th birthday celebrations - including a boys' fishing trip. Despite flying to London at the time, Brooklyn and Nicola also didn't attend the big family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core. Brooklyn reportedly 'told his famous family that he wants no contact' with them last month in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud. While a source close to Brooklyn denied the claims, a source told Page Six: 'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.' According to the publication, the eldest Beckham boy has had no communication with his family following father David's knighthood being announced last month and only learned of the news in the media alongside the rest of the world. Denying he'd asked for no contact, a source close to Brooklyn told the publication: 'Everyone's focus should be David Beckham 's great honour'. Meanwhile a source close to Brooklyn also denied the claims as they told MailOnline, 'this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father.'
