I have a hard time believing a large Vegas casino would let someone carry a 50 million dollar debt.


Im sure they make an exception for big time celebrities. He will end up doing free concerts for them or something

$50 million is nothing when you have $125 million to $200 million leftover.
$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.

So ah, 14,000. 30% of that's what, what is that, no, ah, 4,200.

Well what the frick arrangement do you suggest now?

O-oh J-Jesus Christ almighty, you get in a mood like this and I just as soon as not even discuss it. Look, let me just have 500, you know, and we'll discuss the rest of it some other frickin' time.

Al: Cash? Or credit at the tables?

frickin' time and try, the frickin' English in you comes out. Fine. I'll have the 500 at the frickin' tables, and Jesus Christ almighty.

Al: Are we holding markers?

Tim: Oh, you're holding markers, alright. You've been holding markers against me and my kind for the past several centuries across both sides of the frickin' water. How the frick do I know?! Ask Dority, he'll know better than me. Credit it against the frickin' markers, but just let me hold 20 in frickin' cash.

Al: Tell Dan to give you 20.

Tim: And a piece of frickin' pussy.

Al: Tell Dan, then tell him to come see me.

Tim: (To EB) And thanks for steppin' in on the side of rightin' frickin' justice, you deaf dumb bastard!

If he doesn't pay soon, MGM is going to send someone uptown to funk him up...

Instead of paying him 90 mil this year they can just pay him 40 mil. Glad that waste of a story is wrapped up now.

The post tax on his 90m probably being about 50m may not be a coincidence in this story-

That they let him run a debt in line with his contracted income with them would definitely explain the big dollars involved

Forget how he is going to pay for it. I’m sure they can work something out. He is terrible at gambling. I’d like to follow his bets and just bet against him every time.

They’re paying him $80mil/yr to perform there. This is nothin to him.


Reminds me of the Blues Brothers when they played Bobs Country Bunker and got paid $200, but owed $300 for beer.

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.



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.
