HOW FAN-BOY NICOLAS CAGE THREW $38 MILLION AWAY

description

Despite making millions from a string of box office disasters, Nicolas Cage is now on the brink of bankruptcy.

Hollywood.com recently reported that between the summer of 2007 and 2008 Cage made over $38 million from a string of near-blockbusters yet Cage recently filed a $20 million lawsuit against his former business manager alleging the manager had failed to file taxes and put him on the road "toward financial ruin."

But that’s not where ALL Cage’s money went – he seems to be an extreme fan-boy.

Among Cage’s purchases were several yachts, a jet, a castle, over 50 cars, over $1 million dollars worth of comic books including Action Comics Number One which featured the very first appearance of Superman, several mansions including one in New Orleans (that may or may not be haunted), two Bahamanian islands, real shrunken heads, and a  $500,000 Lamborghini once owned by the Shah of Iran

He also has dropped $276,000 on a dinosaur skull (reportedly out-bidding Johnny Depp), 2 non-malt liquor real King Cobras (Moby and Sheba) and a pet octopus.

On the other hand Cage gave $1 million to the Red Cross to aid Hurricane Katrina victims,and $2 million to Amnesty International, the human-rights group.

POP FYI: Nicolas who ‘s real last name is Coppola (as in Francis Ford, his uncle) took his stage name from Marvel Comics mercenary Luke Cage, Hero-For-Hire. Nic also named his son Kal-El (Superman’s Kryptonian name).
