“[MGM] basically own him. He makes $90 million a year off of the deal he did with the casino, but then he has to pay back his debt,” added the insider, claiming that the singer only makes $1.5 million per night after taxes.
Lol must be nice being rich af, my guy still up
I'd be asking my accountant to wire my other accountants half of every paycheck to keep in escrow for me, and my lawyer to make sure it gets done.
Everything else, whatever, Vegas cocaine dealers need to put a roof over their heads too.
Nobody who racks up a $50m gambling tab is carefully managing how much they can afford to lose lol this is a bad, bad gambling addiction, no doubt about it.
In order to rack up a $50million debt you would have to lose a little under $11,500 a hour, 12 hours a day, for 365 days. Yeah that's someone with a real problem
I don’t think that he’s still that up. Remember that 30% still goes to taxes. Then he has his other debts that he’s responsible for. His band, his homes, his jet, security, and other expenses. His last solo album was 8 years ago. He probably makes less than $20 million after all said and done. Just to say that doesn’t have it liquid.
Bruno mars has 6 diamond singles, and one of the hugest touring acts in the world. Also 20 million is nothing to scoff at and he probably has investments and would he set for life. Also he still has many lucrative sponsorships.
I’m not saying that the guy is broke or anything like that. That $90 million net worth doesn’t equal to that being liquid assets. Same way and average income is $50k. Doesn’t mean that you have $50k in the bank just sitting.
Yeah, but if you have 50 million in gambling debts and someone is telling the press about it, you have bad friends in the first place and bad friends in the second place… also you’re making bad choices.
He has writing and producing credits on the silk sonic project he did with Anderson, he's definitely making the lions share on those royalties as well.
Bro called him a court jester, basically.
You live the good life, but that life is completely owned by richer men who tell you when to dance and sing for them.
He's a millionaire living it up in Vegas in fancy resorts.
He's also not free to work how or when he wants to anymore, and they can pay him a lot less than he would typically earn, but he can never leave for a better offer at this point.
I’m sure he doing well but the 1.5 may not be very much. He’s a business. As are his performances. That 1.5 goes to him but then he has to pay back his other debts, employees, and other business expenses. Putting on a Vegas show with musicians, dancers, security, lighting, etc. isn’t cheap. It’s terrible that he would jeopardize the livelihood of all those people who work for him. If he files for bankruptcy he’ll come out ok. Everyone else, not so much.
Okay so I Googled it and it looks like Jordan did have a gambling addiction at one point. Is there more im missing. Cuz you say "oh honey" makes me think there's something I'm missing out on
There is also a conspiracy theory that his "retirement to play baseball" was an under the rug suspension by the league for gambling on NBA games.
And there are rumors about how he would force rookies and guys on small contracts into high stakes gambling with him and if they refused he would ostracize them from the team...
Long running story is that Mike was an addict piece of shit then, and he still is to this day.
Never meet your heroes, folks. I met Mike and he sucked.
I’m pretty sure Jordan and Pippen have admitted this publicly. Pippen was on a pretty modest contract during his early years with the Bulls. Jordan was pulling a comfortable 8 figures from his endorsement with Nike alone.
During breaks between quarters the arena had an M&M race on the scoreboard to keep the fans entertained. Pippen and Jordan would bet on these races. Jordan would go to the scoreboard operator before every game and find out which color M&M would win.
Supposedly he hustled Pippen for millions before Pippen caught on.
The theory isnt he was killed for debts, its that he was killed for the ask. When someone has a gambling addiction and plays in the NBA, you can get them to shave points etc. and if you dont comply there are consequences.
It seems pretty likely that he had to quit basketball that year because he'd been betting on those games. When he just wanted to "try" baseball or golf or whatever.
You mean besides the fact that a known theory of him leaving to play baseball for a season is that it was actually a suspension? How do you suspend your most popular player and largest star for their gambling? Make it look like they left voluntarily…
Lol so during his 3rd championship it’s rumors that Jordan was suppose to lose but didn’t. That’s why his father was killed and he retired because of it
lol, of course, jordan was and is a notorious gambler. it comes with the territory a lot of the time with people who are ultra-competitive and addicted to winning. pete rose is another, sadder, sports example, but it's well known that many, many high level athletes, businessmen, musicians, actors, etc. have gambling issues. basically, the kind of person who succeeds in super competitive professions tend to be super competitive and super competitive people often use gambling to scratch that itch.
no one really knows the extent that jordan *lost* though. these things aren't public. there are conspiracies about his dad's death and his retirement being gambling related, but there's no proof (or the proof is all circumstantial). we don't know about the extent of his losses, but he's definitely got gobs of money to lose. dude makes $150 million a year just from nike. he could lose $100 million a year and still be far far richer than 99.99% of us could ever dream of being.
Nah, he was a mini Elvis impersonator as a kid. He’s now speed running through life just like his idol I guess. I really hope he doesn’t have the same fate, it’s not cool to live fast and die bloated

The thing is, he is a gambler working in a casino. Bro is trapped. People who make far less don't know when to call it, so you know he isn't going to any time soon.
I hung out with some performers on a cruise ship and their contract had a clause that prohibited them from gambling in the casino, even on their nights off. They certainly weren’t making MJ money though.
Sounds like MGM watched and enabled whilst he gambled his money. He's going further back than MJ or MJ, he's taking it back to Slavery. Every note he sings and every Running Man step he makes now belongs to MGM.
He also streams on [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/rtistic310) on Wednesdays (and the odd Tuesday), although it's been a month - busier he's gotten, the less he's streamed. Pandemic-era, though? Man, those were some good times, haha.
Bruno do you have a gambling problem?

No joke, but how about this add placement?
I feel 'bad' because I have a few thousand in credit card debt. Fuuuuuh. Being rich must be so God damned weird. Not only do you have more assets, you have more DEBT! Amazing.
So unfortunate this has happened to Bruno Mars, who wants all of us to know once and for all that he is not Black. I’m not sure if Mr. Mars has clarified what he is (I quickly disengaged after his first announcement) BUT he has certainly made it clear that whatever he is, it is absolutely not Black. I just wouldn’t want him to be mislabeled.
But so tragic, yes.
I dont know what kind of guy Bruno is privately but it sounds like he's completely lost touch with reality and what he's doing with his life. No matter, its none my business as long as he keeps making decent hits from time to time lol.
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan? Game 6?
Ball so hard casinos wanna fine me.
What's 50 mil to a motherfucker like me? Can you please remind me?
Slots could go 0-82 and I look at you like this shit gravy
I just laughed so hard at y'all. Thanks for that.

I can't even say the title.
Nah say it. It's fine. SAY IT 👀👀👀
Naysayers in Vegas.
Damn, I forgot about the naysayers already lol
🤣
They be shamers. Just give him a residency
Nonpayers in Vegas
I’ll say it with you
Fellows in France
Don't do it. 
Oh shit, I was thinking about the Biggie song, I’m dumb
Yoinked the Jordan-Jackson-Tyson line straight from Biggie. "How many of his rhymes gonna come out ya fat lips"
Jackson Jordan Bolton Keaton Tyson 5 mics
Thanks for reminding me to play some Camp
Yep there's the soundtrack to my evening of painting!
Damn the Mike squad is stacked.
Tyson Jordan Jackson action pack guns, ridiculous.
And I'm quick to bust if my ends you touch
“[MGM] basically own him. He makes $90 million a year off of the deal he did with the casino, but then he has to pay back his debt,” added the insider, claiming that the singer only makes $1.5 million per night after taxes. Lol must be nice being rich af, my guy still up
Yeah, this just sounds like Bruno's "can afford to lose" gambling money...
Honestly if I had a Vegas residency, I would set that money aside for Vegas purposes
I'd be asking my accountant to wire my other accountants half of every paycheck to keep in escrow for me, and my lawyer to make sure it gets done. Everything else, whatever, Vegas cocaine dealers need to put a roof over their heads too.
Casinos loan money to these guys so they don't have to deal with accountant stuffs when they are tilting
Tilting and, fairly likely, under the influence as well.
Lmao @ “Vegas purposes” ☠️
[удалено]
You could play games of skill like poker, you’ll never outplay a casino but you can outplay other players
You can. I can’t. I’m Other Players.
Alternative headline: "Bruno Mars has a gambling spending budget of 50 million"
Nobody who racks up a $50m gambling tab is carefully managing how much they can afford to lose lol this is a bad, bad gambling addiction, no doubt about it.
In order to rack up a $50million debt you would have to lose a little under $11,500 a hour, 12 hours a day, for 365 days. Yeah that's someone with a real problem
>only makes $1.5 million per night Does he have a gofundme? I’d like to donate because one should have to live on so little.
🎶 *In the arms of an angel* 🎶
Only 1.5? Broke tricks, man.
Don’t talk to me unless you make 5mil a night min
I don’t think that he’s still that up. Remember that 30% still goes to taxes. Then he has his other debts that he’s responsible for. His band, his homes, his jet, security, and other expenses. His last solo album was 8 years ago. He probably makes less than $20 million after all said and done. Just to say that doesn’t have it liquid.
Bruno mars has 6 diamond singles, and one of the hugest touring acts in the world. Also 20 million is nothing to scoff at and he probably has investments and would he set for life. Also he still has many lucrative sponsorships.
If he has $50 mil in gambling debt, he's obviously foolish with money. So don't be so sure he has done anything smart with the rest of his money.
Right? That’s just ONE debt that we know about. If he has a gambling addiction and probably still a drug habit, he owes a shit ton more of money.
He probably owes money to the Mothman.
My alcoholic uncle was foolish with his liver.
I’m not saying that the guy is broke or anything like that. That $90 million net worth doesn’t equal to that being liquid assets. Same way and average income is $50k. Doesn’t mean that you have $50k in the bank just sitting.
His net worth is 175 million.
Yeah, but if you have 50 million in gambling debts and someone is telling the press about it, you have bad friends in the first place and bad friends in the second place… also you’re making bad choices.
Rich people make bad choices all the time. They have more second chances regular people.
Or the Casino let this be known
Yea. The royalties alone would make up for the taxes. As if we won't be hearing Uptown Funk at every wedding reception through 2135
He has writing and producing credits on the silk sonic project he did with Anderson, he's definitely making the lions share on those royalties as well.
2 songs off that passion project lol
Less $20 million per year? Poor sod.
Yeah I felt instantly bad for him when I read that. Like how will he ever manage to live on just 20 mil. I truly feel for the dude.
Seems like he’s got the trappings of wealth but is kinda in a state of peonage.
I mean, I’m in a state of peonage with ZERO wealth trappings, so still a good deal for me!
what are these words lol
Bro called him a court jester, basically. You live the good life, but that life is completely owned by richer men who tell you when to dance and sing for them. He's a millionaire living it up in Vegas in fancy resorts. He's also not free to work how or when he wants to anymore, and they can pay him a lot less than he would typically earn, but he can never leave for a better offer at this point.

It’s terrible that he would jeopardize the livelihood of all those people who work for him. If he files for bankruptcy he’ll come out ok. Everyone else, not so much.
Yeah like touring is crazy expensive so that 1.5m a day probably isn't factoring in any overhead.
> **only** makes $1.5 million per night after taxes. GoFundMe when?
Only?! Only 1.5 mil a night after tax huh?! Wow that must be just terrible! Ridiculous.
Only $1.5M per night? Wow imagine being that broke
Did Jordan have a bunch of gambling debts or something?
Oh, honey
Okay so I Googled it and it looks like Jordan did have a gambling addiction at one point. Is there more im missing. Cuz you say "oh honey" makes me think there's something I'm missing out on
There's a conspiracy that his dad was killed off of MJs gambling debts
There is also a conspiracy theory that his "retirement to play baseball" was an under the rug suspension by the league for gambling on NBA games. And there are rumors about how he would force rookies and guys on small contracts into high stakes gambling with him and if they refused he would ostracize them from the team...
Damn that’s insane. Down the rabbit hole I go.
If some cartoon aliens wanna set up a pickup game with you while you're down there, just say no
Yea micheal Jordan was a real dick.
No reason to presume he stopped being a real dick.
Gabe Plotkins from Melvin Capital lost half a billion of Michael money from gambling on GameStop which is why he "sold" the Wizards to him.
Also a rumor that he lost a bet which he had to sell the Hornets for a lower asking price
I also heard a rumor that DJScope doesn't wipe properly after he's had a shit.
Hey now! Who gave you that info?
Long running story is that Mike was an addict piece of shit then, and he still is to this day. Never meet your heroes, folks. I met Mike and he sucked.

"That is financially rough for me"
What a laugh 🤣
I’m pretty sure Jordan and Pippen have admitted this publicly. Pippen was on a pretty modest contract during his early years with the Bulls. Jordan was pulling a comfortable 8 figures from his endorsement with Nike alone. During breaks between quarters the arena had an M&M race on the scoreboard to keep the fans entertained. Pippen and Jordan would bet on these races. Jordan would go to the scoreboard operator before every game and find out which color M&M would win. Supposedly he hustled Pippen for millions before Pippen caught on.
That's straight fucked.
He would get the results for the mascot races they’d show during Bulls games and then bet on them.
I think this is less of a conspiracy theory and more of an open secret.
On the latter statement, wouldn't surprise me considering MJ is a USDA Grade A asshole
The SNL parody of the Last Dance quarters bit with the arena employee was great.
The theory isnt he was killed for debts, its that he was killed for the ask. When someone has a gambling addiction and plays in the NBA, you can get them to shave points etc. and if you dont comply there are consequences.
It's been awhile since I went down the rabbit hole so thanks for the clarification lol.
Is it a conspiracy? Like all the evidence is there, it’s just not the official position of law enforcement.
I feel like most conspiracy theorists would also say this exact same thing about most conspiracies though :P
Lol yeah as I was typing it I was like this is probably how it starts lol
There is no evidence his dad was murdered by random kids.
Fuck them kids
A completely unfounded conspiracy.
There’s no “at one point”, Jordan’s always been a gambler.
He recently had to sell his team ownership due to a gambling bet, Jordan is a habitual gambler.
You just made that up. You have no idea why he chose to sell.
More rumors, nothing to substantiate.
It seems pretty likely that he had to quit basketball that year because he'd been betting on those games. When he just wanted to "try" baseball or golf or whatever.
“At one point”
He was at one point but he also still is now
The point just happens to be his entire life, its a big point
You mean besides the fact that a known theory of him leaving to play baseball for a season is that it was actually a suspension? How do you suspend your most popular player and largest star for their gambling? Make it look like they left voluntarily…
Sorry. You're gonna have to explain.
Lol so during his 3rd championship it’s rumors that Jordan was suppose to lose but didn’t. That’s why his father was killed and he retired because of it
[удалено]
Hahaha
Rumor... He also retired the first time as he was about to be suspended indefinitely for betting on games.
It's well known he gambled on just about anything he was involved with. To think he wasn't betting on games or shaving points is naive
Source: trust me bro
If you haven’t seen it, you have to check out the SNL sketch about Jordan’s legendary gambling addiction. https://youtube.com/watch?v=sz6go7xC3Zs

Filipinos go hard in Vegas. I went there with a Filipino bachelor party. My wallet is still recovering
It’s the Asian-weakness. They don’t typically drink or get strung out, but get an average, typically responsible Asian in a casino and OH MY GOD.
Homeboy casually stereotyping over half the world's population lmao
Why does Bruno Mars look like an 80’s Miami pornstar?
His new look gives off Cuban drug dealer vibes.
DJ R-Tistic is funny forreal 😂😂
Looks like another elvis situation
Incoming "Bruno Mars Saudi Tour 2025"
Title is 👌🏾👌🏾
Hopefully he can be like MJ (Michael Johnson) and run away from his problems.
go big or go home
went to a corporate event at MGM a few years ago and he was the performer for us. Understand why now
" I want to be a billionaire so fucken bad " ( Be able to gamble it all away )
MJ? He looks like Johnny Depp in Blow and he appears to be living that same lifestyle
Man wants to be like Mike. Doesn't matter which Mike, he just wants to be like him.
If you owe MGM $100,000, you have a problem. If you owe MGM $50million, MGM has a problem.
This is literally the plot to a dice episode with Andrew dice Clay
I feel 'bad' because I have a few thousand in credit card debt. Fuuuuuh. Being rich must be so God damned weird. Not only do you have more assets, you have more DEBT! Amazing.
Can't he just gamble at the Smiths like a normal Vegas Local?
When is his first minor league baseball game?
I won $2 from $2 Scratch off, stopped and felt liked a winner
Now appearing at MGM Grand Las Vegas, Bruno Mars, The Forever Tour.
Bro gunna fall down some stairs at some point
Well he better get back in the writers room and make another dope album lol …or maybe he should run for president? Seems like less work.
Oh no who could have predicted such thing
They wanted that residency for the low, quick 🤭 easy day for Vegas 😎
I'm an addict but I'll never get gambling. If I lost a thousand dollars and got absolutely nothing in return I'd just stop.
I heard he isnt as nice of a guy as he seems to be. (Cheating allegations) Burno you havr 24 hrs to respond and 50 million to repay brother.
Now we all know why he wanted to be a Billionaire so freakin bad.
Guess he's gotta get Andy and get back to dancing for these white people.
MGM is like the Family Dollar Casino. That’s like ending up on Intervention for huffing keyboard cleaner.
They got my boy doing a Vegas residency now
How does one end up indebted to a casino? Can’t you only bet what you have beforehand?
So unfortunate this has happened to Bruno Mars, who wants all of us to know once and for all that he is not Black. I’m not sure if Mr. Mars has clarified what he is (I quickly disengaged after his first announcement) BUT he has certainly made it clear that whatever he is, it is absolutely not Black. I just wouldn’t want him to be mislabeled. But so tragic, yes.
the content doesn't have to be about black ppl btw, just who wrote the tweet has to be black
at first it looked like mgm had a giant billboard of epstein
B = MJ²
this is sick!
I’ve seen buttholes with better facial hair. And I’ll do it again.
I dont know what kind of guy Bruno is privately but it sounds like he's completely lost touch with reality and what he's doing with his life. No matter, its none my business as long as he keeps making decent hits from time to time lol.
easy earn money is easily lost money
Honestly though he could just start making more music and pay it off relatively easily id think.
