How Nicolas Cage lost his fortune
Nicolas Cage is a man filled to the brim with eccentricity and expressiveness. His life reads like a plot from one of Hollywood's hammiest action blockbusters, which coincidentally, may be the reason he's made a career out of them. The star owned the most haunted house in America, bought a stolen dinosaur skull, woke up in the middle of the night to discover a naked trespasser eating a Fudgesicle in his bed, was bailed out jail by Dog the Bounty Hunter, and was victim to a multi-million dollar comic book heist that's going to become an actual movie. Oh, he also owned a shark and private island like some kind of comic book villain.
There's not a whole lot leading us to believe Cage's bizarre life isn't the result of him actually being a time-travelling vampire from the 1800s. The only evidence we have against it is the fact he never seemed to warn himself about squandering his $150 million fortune. Maybe he didn't want to ruin the space-time continuum. Who knows? Either way, somewhere between Cage's 50 cars, spattering of European castles, private island, and multi-million dollar mansions, he nearly lost it all. Today, he's worth just $25 million. Here's the true story of how Nic Cage's fortune was gone in sixty seconds (or a few years, for those of us grounded on Earth).
