The fans shared several pictures and also videos of Tom Hanks on social media. We hope we meet him in a restaurant someday, and he repeats the gesture.
Typewriters
Many people have a passion for collecting things. It can be vinyl records, art pieces, rare books, and the list goes on. Tom Hanks is very dedicated to his collection of typewriters, and he has spent a considerable amount of money on it.
Hanks started his collection when he was only 19 years old and had hundreds of typewriters. It isn't very easy to imagine how he managed to keep all of them in a room. However, he started to give them away, and it seems that now he has "only" 120 typewriters at home.
Private planes
The actor spent many years traveling the world to promote his movies and also loves travel on holidays. It is unlikely we are going to meet Tom Hanks at a regular check-in line since he will often travel on private jets. Of course, the studios will pay for it when he is flying to work, but he has to pay for it when it is for holidays. But as we know, money is not a problem for him.
Although he often travels on private jets, Hanks seems to prefer to spend his time sailing, as you will see.
Vacation
In 2017, Tom Hanks, Oprah, Bruce Springsteen, and the Obamas decided to go on vacation together. Of course, the A-list team would not choose a cheap location, and they went to French Polynesia, one of the fanciest destinations in the world. The actor defines the days as "off the scales fantastic."
The group seemed to have lots of fun in this exclusive paradise. The only thing Hanks complained was that during a bike ride, they gave him an "undersized girl's bike." If this was his major problem during the holidays, it sounds perfect.
Renting yachts

In 2004, he and Rita rented the largest sailing yacht in the world, and they enjoyed some fantastic days on board of the 246-foot boat while exploring the Turkish coast.
The yacht had enough space for 12 people and even had a gym inside, just in case you want to remain fit during your holidays. The price they paid for it was not released, but we are sure it cost some thousands of dollars.
Charity

Among places he helps are Chabot, a non-profit science center which teaches children and teenager about space, and Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation, that fights against HIV and makes several researchers. It is interesting to notice that Hanks was involved in movies that talk about those subjects.
Personal Chef
The Toy Story 4 star also appreciates good food. Being a wealthy celebrity also allows him to afford some luxuries like having a personal chef. One of them was the chef Gary Rhodes, who passed away in 2019 and also cooked for members of the Royal Family. So it is easy to assume his prices were not low.
