New reports suggest that Bruno Mars‘ heavy gambling habits might have landed him in serious trouble. It is said that the singer, who at one time supported himself by working as a professional poker player, has racked up huge debts at the table over the course of his career.
A Vegas insider told News Nation, “He owes millions to the MGM (from gambling).” According to the source, he has accumulated debts of as much as $50 million. “(MGM) basically own him,” the Vegas insider added. “He makes $90 million a year off of the deal he did with the casino, but then he has to pay back his debt… after taxes (Mars makes $1.5 million per night).” $90 million after taxes amounts to approximately $60 million.
