Ben Affleck to Live on $1.50 For a Day, Bring Attention to Poverty Apr 23rd 2013, 17:26 He may be a multi-millionaire, but Ben Affleck will make like someone in poverty next week in order to bring attention to a cause close to his heart. The actor has vowed to keep his food and drink costs below $1.50 for one day as a fundraising campaign for The Global Poverty Project. The organization's website says the purpose of the project is "to give a glimpse into the lives of 1.4 billion people who have no choice but to live below the line every day - and who have to make $1.50 cover a lot more than food." Affleck will specifically be supporting the Eastern Congo Initiative. Those taking part - which also include Josh Groban and Sophia Bush - will Tweet their experiences throughout next week on their personal accounts and on Live Below the Line's account (@LBLUS). There's no truth to the rumor that, with his marriage to Jennifer Garner supposedly in crisis, Affleck will actually use the money saved here to buy her a huge diamond ring.
