Nic Cage is broke because of cobra venom, dinosaur skulls and castles [Celebs]

Several days ago, the world found out that after making $40 million last year, Nicholas Cage is broke. Boo-hoo... it happens all the time. Well Nicholas Cage decided to sue his financial manager, who was obviously at the root of his money woes. Turns out that whatever Cage's problem with his financial manager are, the actor probably should have laid off spending money like there was no tomorrow. If bankruptcy happened to Hammer, it can happen to anyone.

From FilmDrunk, here's a list of what Nic Cage bought last year:

* At least two yachts and a gulfstream jet.

* Two private islands in the Bahamas.

* Paid $500,000 for a Lamborghini confiscated from the Shah of Iran which was worth $250 - 300,000

* “A dinosaur skull that Cage purchased in 2007 for $276,000 in a heated auction with Leonardo DiCaprio.”

* “In June 2004, he owned 18 motorcycles and 30 cars, a member of his entourage says. And that was on the low end: At another point, two sources say, the car total was around 50. At one point, Cage was snapping up cars at a rate of about “one per month.”

* “Cage’s pet collection, which in addition to a handful of purebred dogs [tré lavish!], included rare birds and a host of lizards, snakes, and other creepy crawlies.” Also: an octopus.

* Two actual castles, one in Bath, England, and another in Etzelwang (hehe), Germany * “He also had two albino King Cobras (Moby and Sheba), this person says, as well as ‘an antidote serum on the wall, so that if you got bit by a snake you could save yourself.’”

Well, having snakebite serum around if you've got exotic poisonous snakes is just responsible. Also, he reportedly had quite an impressive shrunken head collection. But with all that money, he couldn't buy himself a non-birdlike hairdo or more than one facial expression. For shame.

You can only put out so much shit before a higher power steps up and bitch slaps you!
Fuck that guy!
I feel bad for Kal-el.
You can get away with that name if you or your family have cash, but if you're just another broke mug...no es bueno!
Poor kid.
Fuck that guy.

Warning label on money

"Mr Show" nailed it when they parodied the MC Hammer and Corey Feldman crashes - we need a warning label on money:  "Once you've spent this, it no longer belongs to you"
