It seems that some of our wealthiest celebrities are more reluctant than you might think to part with their hard-earned cash - even in small quantities.
I've been told Ken Dodd never spent more than he had to when needing to speak to his agent on the phone.
When the need arose, Doddy would dial the agent's number and, as soon as he got a reply, would say "Dodd here" and immediately put the phone down.
His agent would then call him back.
