He claims he didn't do the fight for money


Yeah right. I'm sure he has mismanaged his money like every dumb shit that gets rich.

Self-delusion is a thing but surely he had to know he has geriatric legs and no movement at all. He did it for the money for sure.

Well, in 2003 he filed for bankruptcy, lost $400 million of his earnings, and was $23 million in debt.

Nicolas Cage was another example. He did a lot of B movies to pay off his debt.

A lot of celebrities have a way with money.

Another celebrity was Johnny Depp who needed to earn at least $20 million each month to support his lifestyle. When the roles dried up, he was in trouble.

Ditto Michael Jackson and his money woes.

That's a whole new level of dumb in order to be broke after earning hundreds of millions of dollars.

I can't even imagine how they did that, how to burn through money so fast. That is way beyond eating caviar everyday.

And who told them how to do that, since majority of them were quite poor before the fame and success.

And even there were examples before them, they still repeat the same mistake.

reply

A magazine article went into the financial details about Depp's lifestyle like buying a private island. Stuff like that cost money to maintain and is taxed.

I hope he at least had put it to good use, like running around with dozens of naked girls.

agree....... guess it just proves that 99% of actors are stupid as hell.
and no one should take any kind of advice from them, no matter what the topic is.

reply

They pretend to be heroes on screen, that does not mean they really are, they pose and read lines.

We are all just good at few things, outside those fields we are usually quite ignorant. Majority of people are money fools, they are no exception.

Though those actors after being successful I think their egos could be boosted to a point, which could be very blinding, and sometimes they really think they are good at everything.

Worshiping celebrities is a very human thing, but also very dumb.

strange that 99% of actors that come forward hate DT.
