Is Cage Going Broke? Nicolas Unloads

wenn-nic-cage-monopoly.jpg

So maybe Nicolas Cage isn't doing so well financially, but at least he had the peace of mind to invest in some real estate.

Sounds like a solid backup plan!

After selling a castle in Germany to a wealthy attorney recently, Cage is unloading more properties, including homes in the Bahamas, Nevada, California, Rhode Island, and Louisiana.

Situated in the Garden District, the New Orleans house boasts "six bedrooms and grounds that include a heated pool and statuary…graceful lines, marble fireplaces, plasterwork, stained glass and curved staircase are elegantly preserved."

In 2005, Cage purchased the house for $3.45 million.

It's now on the market for a cool $3.7 million.

That should help tide him over.

    10. 10

      Or, those expensive plugs/hair extensions!!!!



    11. 11

      how many houses does he have holy shit



    12. 12

      Meh, the garage in his Vegas home is bigger than my entire house.

      *kills self*



    13. 13

      Going broke? Hardly. It's called smart business. He's set.



    14. 14

      Stories about celebrities going broke…..waa waa waa.
      They are paid to much to begin with…WHO CARES!!!!



    15. 15

      Re: WinonaJohnson – Yeah, he has a few good movies. Lord of War, Adaptation are especially good.



    16. 16

      or maybe fat body he is realizing there is no need for so many homes.



    17. 17

      Re: LetttyB – another poser



    18. 18

      Wonder if it's his super-creepy haunted mansion in the French Quarter! We did a walking ghost tour when we were there a couple of weeks ago and one of the stops was a house that he owns where previous owners did medical experiments on slaves. They said he never stays there and talked about its haunted history on Letterman or Leno or something.



    19. 19

      HE IS PREPARING FOR A DIVORCE. HE DOESNT WANT HIS CHINK WIFE TO GET HALF…DUH



    20. 20

      Maybe he needs more money to get a better hair implant or replacement (?)



    21. 21

      if he is selling these properties, maybe he is getting another divorce. could be trying to put the money elsewhere



    22. 22

      I've been to his home in New Orleans. It's a very historic home and is said to be haunted. Nicholas has actually only stayed at the home once. What a waste of $3.45 million. It just stayed locked up…no on ever used it after he purchased it. Hopefully someone will purchase it and do something really cool with it!



    23. 23

      Re: RipcordNews.com – Don't forget "Moonstruck". It's a great movie, won several Oscars including for Cher and Olympia Dukakis. Nic Cage was awesome in it.
      "Snap out of it!" :)



    24. 24

      Must be nice to have like..6 houses lol.



    25. 25

      he should make a porno about finding Lisa Marie Presleys "National Treasures".

      I'd buy it.



    26. 26

      I never watch his movies. I think he's become the next Keanu Reaves (SP?).

    27. 27

      maybe he signed on with Madoff?



    28. 28

      As much as it pains me to admit it Perez I found your 'monopoly guy' drawings on Nic Cage amusing. *hangs head in shame* Or maybe they were done by one of your ghost writers…?



    29. 29

      I don't understand how these people with all of this money can go broke!



    30. 30

      No, Nick! not the place in Newport….. aw maaan. so long buddy…



    31. 31

      aacording to interviews he's done, he's purging himself of possesions because he "had a nighttmare about the devil chasing him, and the devil was made of cars and houses and paintings" and he feels that was a sign that he needs to "unburden" himself. He's sold a lot of his really fancy cars, too. Not surprised he's selling his homeS now…



    32. 32

      How many houses do you need. You can only live in one at a time. Its like when I was a teenager and wanted a phone in my room my dad way like hell no there's one in the kitchen.



    33. 33

      This Coppola is getting older, greyer, and even less interesting than he ever was. If that is possible.



    34. 34

      He's from the Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt "one character" school of acting

    36. 36

      Did he over-extend himself? (truly, any hair plug pun was not intended)

      Re: LG ADORES THE POSSE DARLINGS! – sorry, but are you one lost mother fucker? i read a couple of your posts and well, either you are hole or fucked in the head



    39. 39

      Re: antonopoulouhelen – hmmmm going by the pic you are hole, if not sorry, if so, fuck off



    40. 40

      Re: LetttyB – imposter, let me guess, you are hole, aka ASS Hole, fuck off



    41. 41

      He's probably coming to his senses and realized that having all those properties is just a waste of money.



    42. 42

      He can smell the coffee. President BO
      is taxing the hell out of the rich and he's bailing. Watch this great actor haul ass to Costa Rica.



    43. 43

      he may just be unloading a bunch of burdens.



    44. 44

      I once had the pleasure to finger his anus while I pretended to check his prostate during a PMS attack were I thought I was Hannah Montana and bleeding from the opening between my legs.



    45. 45

      Broke no, I don't think so. It is an odd time to enter the real estate market as a seller though. I like the scaling down to move to Costa Rica angle. I have night mares about my one basement and two attics so I can feel for him. If he was going broke HE wouldn't be doing the selling, the banks would.



    46. 46

      Hey everybody it's me! I'm just cruisin in my "Porn display on wheels", my good ol '89 lincoln full of nasty shit! It has everything a sexual deviant could ever ask for - porn dvds & mags, the naked barbie, explicit music, dildos and what not! I'm hungry - let's see whats on the menu - Oh, it's "Panties on a platter"! Yumm… I'm also wearin lip gloss. Oh, also, i will soon set off my "Porn Mobile Tour 2008 - Porn on wheels" - coming to a city near you, bitches ! To the porn mobile!!!!



    47. 47

      I never did understand why the stars all need to have so many homes to begin with.

      One or two are plenty! Sheesh…



    48. 48

      i absolutely fucking hate the saying "cool" prior to a real estate listing price. what the fuck is soooo cool about it? it;s overused and sounds odd.



    49. 49

      Hello !He's A Family Man Now! If He does not "go" there? Why Keep them! Does not mean he is in Trouble! Lame!



    50. 50

      maybe, matbe, thia might work



    51. 51

      Re: MeinAZ – That's what I am thinking. He has lost money. Now last weekend his movie was number 1. So his movies are good and make
      money. But if he lost money. I would be getting rid of what ever I don't need.
      Good point!



    52. 52

      watch no1 buy them! ha that would be the day!!



    53. 53

      damn….too bad he ain't elvis! lol just married the next best most awesome thing…..the elvis collector's item aka his daughter. damn so does that mean he's not gonna get a hair transplant anytime soon?



    54. 54

      he looks like a recently embalmed corpse…also you can actually see his hair plugs

    55. @v@ says – reply to this


      55

      Yeah, we should all be so broke, lol. Wild conjecture based on selling properties is not journalism. Finding an actual bankruptcy filing and being the first to report it, is. Reputations should not be fcuked with merely to fill a page on a slow news day. That's just lazy. There are enough real hard stories out there that it never needs to happen.



    56. 56

      the house is in the french quarter, and he's never even spent the night there. it's known as the LaLaurie Mansion, and is the supposed site of one of the city's most horrific crimes. There's lots of stories about previous tenants experiencing some serious paranormal encounters, and it's often pointed out on french quarter ghost tours. it's a gorgeous property, but not worth the extra 300K, since he hasn't done squat to it.



    57. 57

      Excellent Actor!



    58. 58

      Well…. If all else fails, he can go ask Uncle Francis Ford for a loan, or to maybe put him to work in a movie with a GOOD script. He's not very diverse when it comes to character roles. I like him, but he's bland.



    59. 59

      We had lunch yesterday with someone closely connected to Perez Hilton who confirmed what we’ve suspected for a while now:

      Perez no longer writes any of the content on the site.

      The only things Perez Hilton actually contributes to his own website these days are the video blogs he puts up from time to time.

      He’s got not one but THREE writers he’s hired (including a new one who loves to use the word “Fehk”) so he can go gallivanting around, propagating his own celebrity while his minions do the heavy lifting.

      Lame!

      That ain’t Cyrano, that’s Milli Vanilli.

      But at least now we know why his site has started to suck in the past year.

      i've seen the new orleans house…

      it lacks "curb appeal" especially for 3.7.
