Rumor has it that Nicolas Cage is broke, and Film Drunk takes a hilarious look at how this could have happened. Here’s a quick rundown of what he’s purchased in the past:
* At least two yachts and a gulfstream jet.
* Two private islands in the Bahamas.
* Paid $500,000 for a Lamborghini confiscated from the Shah of Iran which was worth $250 - 300,000
* “A dinosaur skull that Cage purchased in 2007 for $276,000 in a heated auction with Leonardo DiCaprio.”
* “In June 2004, he owned 18 motorcycles and 30 cars, a member of his entourage says. And that was on the low end: At another point, two sources say, the car total was around 50. At one point, Cage was snapping up cars at a rate of about “one per month.” [Ed. Note: not really that much if you're pulling $40 mil a year.]
* “Cage’s pet collection, which in addition to a handful of purebred dogs [tré lavish!], included rare birds and a host of lizards, snakes, and other creepy crawlies.” Also: an octopus.
* Two actual castles, one in Bath, England, and another in Etzelwang (hehe), Germany
* “He also had two albino King Cobras (Moby and Sheba), this person says, as well as ‘an antidote serum on the wall, so that if you got bit by a snake you could save yourself.’”
