Lady Gaga Bankrupt After Spending Millions On Costumes

According to the Daily Mail, Lady Gaga went bankrupt after spending millions on costumes for her Monster’s Ball tour. Gaga went almost $3 million in debt during the 18 month 200 show tour. The surprising part was she had no idea. Because celebrities are idiots who don’t know how to manage money.

‘Other than that I put everything in the show, and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the Monster Ball. And it was funny because I didn’t know!
‘And I remember I called everybody and said, “Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous, I have five No. 1 singles” — and they said, “Well, you’re $3m in debt.” ‘

Aw, that’s cute. She thinks five No. 1 singles means an endless supply of cash. The tour eventually brought in $226 million though which made me real sad.

Lady Gaga said the main reason she didn’t know was because money isn’t that important to her. Must be nice. *Looks at pudding cup. Weeps*

Talking to the Financial Times, she says, “The only big things I’ve purchased are my dad’s heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary.” ‘And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car.’ Oh and don’t forget, she probably built an orphanage and got new legs for Timmy too.

This is the exact reason why most celebrities are bankrupt after their 15 minutes are up. All of a sudden they have more money than they know what to do with and spend it on frivolous stuff like meat dresses or a fleet of Lambos. If someone ever talked to them about sound investments and building up their portfolio, they’d cover their ears, crumple to the ground and scream in pain.

How do you think that added in any meaningful way?  You probably thinks it makes you look intelligent, and while I admit I enjoy the standard conventions of English as much as anyone, they aren’t standard, conventions, or English.  There is know single group with authority over the English language, or any really (the French are just fooling themselves).  A language is a living thing and is only valuable if people agree on meaning.  Everyone he’re [sic], perfectly understood the meaning of the OP[sic], (See how you got that even though I didn’t say original poster, through in a hilarious… Read more »

lmao, Gaga literally doesn’t care about money. She grew up with no money and didn’t care. She has money now and doesn’t care. All she cares about is her work and putting that money back into her product. Oh btw, she’s only the most recognizable star in the world at the age of 25. I’d say she made a sound investment. What have your portfolios and investments done for you lately?

um… been number 1 since 08? I think you have your facts wrong there…. Shes only had 5 number 1s, compare that to katy perry or rihanna.  Katy tied the record with 5 off of 1 album, and Rihanna has the 7th most of any artist in the history of the billboard with 11. So you can shave your back now.

This was a horrible article.

Maybe you should start making your own concerts, trying to replicate gaga, and see how much money you end up with.

You incorporated your opinion way to much in this article. Honestly if you are so smart get some money and let’s see how you spend it. How other people spend their money is their business.

In 2010 alone she reportedly made 99 million dollars. I think a 3 million dollar debt isnt that big of a deal when you make $99 million dollars. And a rolls Royce only costs around $450,000 on average. So that’s not a big expense when you earn $99 million dollars. And a heart valve is not frivolous. How audacious of you to label something crucial to one’s health as, “frivolous.” have an open mind. This is a sorry excuse of an article. It’s based on opinion and a few facts.

Lmao. So, so many Gaga fanboys here.

The article is fine as is. It was certainly much more articulate than 99% of its respondents. 

Lady Gaga’s money mismanagement doesn’t surprise me in the least, it is very easy to blow through large amounts of money when you are a celebrity if you don’t have a proper money manager.

Unfortunately sir. You are incorrect. To earn a wealth so bountiful as hers is a blessing. She is an international celebrity. It would be ludacris to not have a money manager. She is not ludacris, because she has one. Her label requires one. Read into it more closely.

Haha, she’s not “ludacris” because Ludacris is. She is at times, however, LUDICROUS. I weep at the effects of today’s pop culture on our society.

Exactly. Why are people missing this? She is admitting she went bankrupt. I don’t care how much money she brought in, if her expenses were more than her earnings. what a dummy.

I’m just hoping you have a side-job, because if journalism is your main focus, you should just quit now. (1) WAY too bias, you’re supposed to be able to demonstrate BOTH sides of the story, and you obviously only give your side (2) No even educated on the subject you’re speaking about. I’d go on but I’m hoping you get the idea of what I’m saying.
