Even if its more, say, 250, 50 million is still a SUBSTANTIAL percentage of net worth.


Okay. Who gives a shite?

$50 million is nothing when you have $125 million to $200 million leftover. It’s just noise for maintaining a luxurious, high quality of life.

I mean, not me, it was just a statement of fact.

Its also how these famous people go from on top of the world to bankrupt in the blink of an eye.

$175 million net worth doesn't mean he's got $175 million in cash sitting in the bank. Probably only a small fraction of that $175M is actual cash while the majority of that $175M is the equity value in business investments and property holdings. Its a lot bigger deal when you have to start selling off assets to pay a debt instead of just being able to write a check.

These posts are always hilarious. $50 million is a lot of money. These entertainers are hilariously bad with money, thus the $50 million debt. That means he likely has other large debts and spends money like it's water.

Also, he has to pay that $50 million debt with post-tax money, meaning he has to earn about $80 million to pay it off.

He's also likely not very liquid, so would have to sell off assets/investments, potentially at a loss, to pay it.

Even if he performed for free to pay it, that still counts as income, so taxes would be incurred.
