Re: Broke celebs

I suppose it's all relative.
If you're used to having millions, getting down to the last few must make you feel poorer.

I know some of my family think that if I say I have no money it means I'm down to my last £10,000, when in fact I'm down to my last couple of pounds.
My sister thinks she's poor because a lot of her money is overseas.
Best to take no notice or it will make you angry

I remember reading several times about John Cleese moaning and saying his ex wife 'took him to the cleaners.'
I believe he has been married 4 times - so far.

Apart from that, I doubt whether what they call 'broke' is what I would call broke!
That's a good point Mups. You would think being a 'celeb' would make them more suspicious of people wishing to take them to the cleaners.

Re: Broke celebs

Many times I have been down to my last ten pounds but I suppose that is rich compared to someone with zero pounds.

Re: Broke celebs

Look at Elvis. He earned millions and gave much of it away or wasted it. But could he have ever lived a normal life broke? His life was a tragedy.


It's tougher for celebrities because everyone knows who they are. The way they work they have to make the money stretch between projects and some are better at that than others. When they are no longer able to work because of illness or reduced popularity their lives can implode taking them from a high to a real low.

Re: Broke celebs

I think pop stars etc. get money each time their music is played and actors get some when films are shown and tv shows repeated. Heartbeat actors must be raking it in!

It depends on their contract. Some sell their rights for a pittance compared with what they are worth later. That's what happened to Elvis.

I remember the actor Derek Foulds who played the sergeant in Heartbeat saying that he gets 46p per repeat episode. Wish I had that kind of dosh!
