what about hair dressers?

All according to his accountant Mr. MC Hammer.

real shaman: what about hair dressers?

That's a free service of the Audubon Society.

"Choosing shiat movies" didn't make the list?

madmann: "Choosing shiat movies" didn't make the list?

Even those shiat moview were money in the bank. There is no justifiable reason he is broke... other than maybe the snake venom. Who doesn't need snake venom.

/original, obligatory and hot

That role in 2012 could have saved him, but nooooooooo. They HAD to go with Cusack.

I know for a fact that he gave Johnny Ramone a real shrunken head when Johnny was still alive.

Nick is weird dude.

/He also has supposedly one of the biggest comic book collections in the world.

They were just being sensitive because Cusack's gay. Or was that Ed Norton? Kevin Spacey? One of those guys.

Well, unless he no longer owns any of those listed items, I don't really consider that "broke".

Maybe uncle Francis can cast him as a Corleone in Godfather IV

a4dzac: Well, unless he no longer owns any of those listed items, I don't really consider that "broke".

This. Anything that been bought can be sold. Which reminds me, anyone interested in a mexican Fender Jazz Deluxe?

I think Nic and Gene Simmons trade wigs.

If I had $700+ bucks, sure. But I don't. Looks like it's my ol' Hohner sunburst until further notice.

/guitar, not bass, that is

a4dzac: Well, unless he no longer owns any of those listed items, I don't really consider that "broke".

He may have some equity in a lot of those big ticket items, I doubt he owns many of them outright.

There's a legion of blue haired oldies that would pay hard cash to see him end his shiaty career in Las Vegas singing Elvis covers.

Umm, if you've got yachts, private islands, castles, shrunken heads, dinosaur skulls and cobra venom, you're a supervillain, not broke.

the only thing that's broke here is nic cage's nose. IN EVERY MOVIE HE'S IN

Has anyone seen this yet? Hilarious!

palelizard: Umm, if you've got yachts, private islands, castles, shrunken heads, dinosaur skulls and cobra venom, you're a supervillain, not broke.

Well there's a role he hasn't played. Yet

Guys, I just found this hilarious picture on the intarnet and I wanted to be the first to show you guys! It's sooo funny!

a4dzac: Well, unless he no longer owns any of those listed items, I don't really consider that "broke".

The victims of the real estate crunch would like a word with you.

Crewmannumber6: This. Anything that been bought can be sold.

-Tell that to anyone with Enron stock. His private islands, castles, cars and yachts are probably worth quite a bit less than they were when Cage first bought them, and that's not counting the losses incurred due to upkeep (staff salaries and repairs) and taxes. The property taxes on the castles alone must be worth a pretty penny.

I really need to set up my financial management business to the stars in Hollywood. I would take on all sort of clients in management of their assets, my fees would be modest, and it would work like this:

Nicholas Cage would call me up and say, "Hey, I need some of my money because I need to buy a castle."

"A castle?"

"Yeah, a castle. Over in Europe. It has an orangery."

"What the hell's an orangery?"

"I don't know, but this castle has one and I want it."

My final reply would always be, "No."

See how easy that would be?

You wouldn't even need to tell them no. If people are spending that much money so haphazardly, you could bullshiat them out of it the way they're bullshiat into it.

"Say, Nic....you really want this?"

"YES!"

"Well, it's going to take a few days for us to get everything set. How about you take a couple thousand and buy some European hookers? They do anything."

A few days later...

"Okay, we're ready for that castle orangery thing."

"Never mind, man. I'm good. Can you send a few more grand for the hookers?"

"Not a problem, man."

What these actors need is someone to rein them in without being too pushy. A few hundred grand a year salary and it's no sweat. You can make a killing being a handler.

Where does one purchase an actual shrunken head? Serious question.

I never said sold for equal value or more, You could probably still sell your Enron stock certificates, you know, as novelty gifts or toilet paper.

Maechyll: Where does one purchase an actual shrunken head? Serious question.

If you have to ask, you can't afford one. ;)

He paid a fortune for the ultimate elvis collectible (Lisa Marie) and then probably spent another fortune to get rid of same. Not a real good head for business, but I remember seeing on the internet somewhere where he has a good head for a bird of prey to nest on. Even saw pictures once.

/No voting.

Not to mention Elvis memorabilia:

OMG! I feel so bad for Nic!
C'mon everybody, lets send him all our money so he can maintain his lifestyle!

Well considering his business manager failed to pay Cage's taxes (among other things), I actually feel pretty bad for the guy. Of course he'll just make National Treasure III and earn $15 mil, so I don't feel TOO bad. Still, it sucks being taken advantage of.

I'll just leave this here.

So if he doesn't pay his taxes is he going to be Nick Caged?

itsallgeek2me: So if he doesn't pay his taxes is he going to be Nick Caged?

"Nya, see, you'll never take me alive, Coppolas!" he'll say to the police when they come to arrest him.

/Boooooooooo!

Ha Ha!!!!!

This reminds of the picture I saw on the internet the other day....
It's Nicolas Cage wearing a big bird on his head!!!
Seriously dudes!

I will try and google it but I can't promise anything..

LOL!!!!1111!

hey guys, look what i just found on 4chan

Liar. I don't believe such a thing exists.

WhileAmericaBurns: The victims of the real estate crunch would like a word with you.

Generally speaking, most celebrities of his status don't fire up 30-year mortgages with 0-20% down.

Came for pics of the hot wife. Leave disappointed...

I'm sorry but pet octopi sounds farking cool. Well worth the money.

I'm trying to fire up some sympathy from my coal-black heart, but since I've never owned a yacht or cobra venom, I'm not registering any response.

/Nicholas Cage is a thinking man's Keanu Reeves
//my fingers ache from typing the above slashie

Well, at least he didn't just piss it all away.

peewinkle: I know for a fact that he gave Johnny Ramone a real shrunken head when Johnny was still alive.

Nick is weird dude.

/He also has supposedly one of the biggest comic book collections in the world.

Then maybe he should sell some of them off, then he wouldn't be broke anymore. He could even still shoot cobra venom and have bird hair.
