Nicolas Cage was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars — earning $40 million in 2009 alone — but also one of its biggest spenders.
Cage purchased many homes, automobiles, and rare artifacts. However, in 2015, reports started to emerge about how he blew his $150 million fortune from 1996 to 2011.
The IRS placed tax liens on multiple properties he owned and then had Cage hand over more than $6 million for failing to pay his 2007 tax bill. Cage’s precarious financial situation led him to sell many of his personal belongings, including a treasured comic book.
As of May 2017, Cage is worth a reported $25 million. One of his most recent roles was as Spider-Noir in 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”
