YES great point. Same with athletes. They make a fortune, but it might only be for a few years. That has to last the rest of their lives. My Legacy

the problem wasn't so much livin beyond his means, he stopped doin the thing that got him paid in the first place. not so unlike prince and his music, he decided that religion was more important than his art, and that choosin religion over vulgarity in comedy, the lawd would 'look out fo that ass'. he chose not to do FRIDAY a second time and thought RUSH HOUR was down that same path.
i heard he's back to doin STANDUP which may be a means to an end. i am KING BAD!!!
you are NOT... STOP ME IF YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE... | |

that may be true (I don't know anything about Chris or his religion), but show business is unpredictable, you can't just assume you'll keep getting paid even if you do want to do Friday or Rush Hour. They might decide to use Will Smith's kid instead My Legacy

Some celebrities forget that their fans has a lot to do with where they are in the first place. Then you have some celebrities that don't, like Eddie Murphy for an example. Remember Foxy Brown. My mother and niece saw her at DMV in NYC, and wanted to chat with her. They said she has an horrible attitude. I remembered one year when she had an album signing, and I heard even police officers in the street talking about how horrible she was, and why she had to be there. Where's her career now? | |

It must be easier said then done because far too many wealthy folks keep falling in the same boat, with a lot of miss management of funds, I wonder what the issue is. | |

i think the tinseltown lifestyle must be harsh. it takes real $$$$$ to support that movie star lifestyle and most actors/actresses believe that having "made" it once in the Big Time they will always continue to do so.
do any of them ever say to themselves "this is probably my one big break, i'd best save the money i just earned and keep living modestly".? doubt it. i think that rather, they tell themselves "i'm in the big leagues now. i have to spend $$$$ to live up to my newfound movie star status."
poor things.

I still don't get WHY these Entertainers don't just buy a nice home out-right instead of paying those High-ass mortgage payments for a Multi-million dollar home they can't afford...
Let's do the math...Chris took home $25-Millionfor the last Rush hour Flick...After Taxes and everybody he had to pay he probably walked away with a Good $10 to $15 million...That means he should not have set his eyes on a Damn $6-Million dollar house....
He had PLENTY of cash to buy a home or have one built that wouldn't break-him....
Nicolas Cage is in the same boat. The DIFFERENCE is Nick Cage is still geting roles and Chris ain't..Nick is taking ANYTHING & EVERYTHING to pay for all those houses he bought all over the globe...

cosign. I'm sure a lot of them are just like other americans too, it makes better financial sense to just STOP paying sometimes. Even though their total debt is way higher. Would you keep paying on that 10 million dollar loan if the home you bought is now only worth 2.5 million?
Say what you want about me, but I wouldn't. | |

You think if Chris started doing stand up again that his shows would be sold out? I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

His problem is that he never does movies. Besides Friday and the Rush Hours he's got like maybe 3 more movies hes been in. | |

That's a good question. I don't think he'd have a problem finding a promoter. He can book himself on a few of the Late Night shows and the radio shows..I think a Comedy Concert tour could work for him. This "bad publicity" can be used for "good"...
Jackie Chan is still making MEGA Millions in his homeland..I'm sure he's contacted Chris... | |

Nicolas is also a white male actor who has wisely kept his political views to himself, a huge plus if you want to have a career in the entertainment industy.
As for a Michael Jackson connection, Nicolas once dated (and married?) Michael's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley. But I don't think pro-Zionists are going to hold that against him! | |

This situation of "finances" has nothing do to with Skin Color. We can discuss "race" as a separate issue on "Hollywood"...There are Many Black & White Celebs managing their money and doing quite well...
Chris & Nick are simply 2 Celebs that have had BIG pay days and have ended up in debt with creditors..This is not about "race" and ALL about the "GREEN"... | |

And yet, Nicolas is the one that has been given plenty of second chance opportunities to redeem himself. Chris? Not hardly. | |

What are you talking about? This is the FIRST negative publicity Chris has gotten since he blew up years ago...The only thing he's done in recent years is declare his "faith"...
Nobody cares when Celebs are in a world of Financial debt. The MEDIA just LOVES to report it.. | |
