I wondered "If you were given a billion, how long would it take you to spend it?" "Recently, there will be such an international superstar, who tells us with practical actions - it only takes five years to lose a billion assets." Not long ago, the British "Mirror" reported such a news: Hollywood film emperor Nicolas Cage, due to a long period of indulgence, has squandered his 150 million US dollars (about 1 billion yuan) assets declared bankruptcy. How did he spend it?
His family is full of stars, and his grandfather is the winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Music and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Music. His father was the dean of the San Francisco Academy of Arts and his mother was a dancer; his uncle was the famous Hollywood director Siscopola, who had directed "The Godfather" and won 6 Oscars.
Once upon a time Cage was also frugal, from March 1993 he bought a Mercedes-Benz 190E (now in the collection of the Mercedes-Benz Museum) As wealth increased, people's hearts would change, and consumption would change from reason to arbitrary. For example, Cage once owned the Porsche GT3RS worth 190,000, the Porsche Carrera worth 448,000, the Ferrari Enzo worth 660,000, the Lamborghini Miura worth 500,000, the Bentley Elegant worth 250,000, the Lamborghini Ghost worth 260,000, and the Ferrari 575 worth 220,000.
According to incomplete statistics, at the peak of the Cage large and small cars up to more than 50, in addition to buying 4 yachts, private planes, private islands 15 sets of sky-high housing, dinosaur skulls (because of illegal transactions confiscated), some of his consumption can be understood by ordinary people, but some consumption is difficult to understand, such as in 2006 he spent 3.45 million US dollars to buy a haunted house, like this consumption is generally not understood, so in a few years Cage spent 1 billion.
Throughout the first half of Nicolas Cage's life, from the family to the peak of life, and now with bad films to make a living, a good hand of cards has been played by him. In the final analysis, he is still profligate after fame and fortune, several marriages and divorces, and his own life is unscrupulous and leads to bankruptcy, so no matter how strong a person's ability is, if there is no ability to control and manage wealth, he can only be the "ex-wife" of wealth in the end, but as a Nicholas Cage film fan, he still hopes that he can think about the pain, use the best state to shoot, and give everyone more expectations.
