    That reasoning would also explain many of Robert De Niro’s choices for the past decade.

  2. I’ll never understand how these actors that have been raking it in for decades can go broke.

    I mean, I do understand… it just baffles me.

  3. People never realize how much it takes to maintain a celebrity/athletic lifestyle and the careers are never guaranteed.

  4. People who have an agent, a publicist, a bodyguard and personal assistants keep way less than expected. It’s how so many newly wealthy people go broke: caring for friends and family and their posse along with all those people to quiet the noise of being famous.

    His head is firmly up his arse here. “When you get paid 10 million for a movie it’s really closer to 4.5 million”

    Mother fucker! We all pay fucking taxes. We all know the reality of take home vs salary. But I would have 4.5 million last me a lot longer.

  6. Just when I was like, “Man Al Pacino’s got a Shrek phone case, maybe he’s alright”

  7. I can’t help but think his idea of broke is probably still pretty flush by most people’s standards

  8. I made every wrong choice a man can make. I pissed away all of my money, believe it or not.

    In todays day and age if you’re a multi millionaire and you’re going broke then you have to be stupid, have an insane gambling addiction, or have insane spending issues. With HYSA’syou can literally park 80 percent of your money in there and live off the interest every month. You would make $30,000 a month just in interest if he parked $10 million into a HYSA.

  10. I really don’t understand why people love Al Pacino so much. He plays the same role, just with slight variations over and over again. Don’t get me wrong, he found his niche, but I always thought a good actor was supposed to have range. Pacino always just plays “Angry guy.” Whether it be “bank robbing angry guy,” “coke lord angry guy,” “cop angry guy,” or “real estate angry guy he plays the same role and expresses the same mannerisms every time.
