Omg such a disaster

 

[Johnnyboi]

The next Elvis it seems

[nostalgic]

Sad. He's too talented to be wasting it on that stupid ****. 

[Happylittlepunk]

He needs to seek help by going too see a therapist. Otherwise he can easily pay off the debt as long he continues those shows. But I also believe he can pay it off easily by releasing a new album and going on a world tour. 

[Puttanesca]

He's one of the most talented people in the game and he's caught up in all this? Sad. Get it together, king. 

[XDNA]

Not my Bruno! Hope he gets help!

[AvadaKedavra]

Not shocked. I visit blind sites and they spilled about this in the past  oh darling u need help. Youre so talented. Dont waste it.

I understand getting addicted to dick but gambling? Dayum

[cat1867]

He could wipe that amount with one stadium tour. His 2017 tour grossed 356 million and touring has exploded across the board since then.

Imagine being able to pay off a $50M debt in the span of a YEAR 

[Park Jinyoung]

This all makes sense…

He’s honestly never gonna pay this off. Gambling addiction is very hard to beat. Specially in the situation he’s in. He has to be in Vegas for the residence, and he’s probably stuck on this residence to pay his debt… for every million he makes he’s spending two. it’s a negative feedback loop. Of course, MGM is happy to keep his credit line high to keep him stuck. It’s giving Elvis. Don’t be surprised if MGM is the promoter for Bruno’s next 360 tour.

the weeknd ended him

[slw84]

Well, he could pay off the 50M debt but the problem is his addiction would send him back in that state in a few years so if this is true then he needs to get help ASAP.

A stadium tour would fix that tbh

Hasn't he been touring stadiums internationally for the last few years with no new album to promote?

[White Rabbit]

50 million with interest.. praying for him like truly

Sad what fame and stardom does to people

[shoganai]

Gambling addiction is not a joke, I hope he gets help

[Myah Marie]

Not on his "how to destroy my career and my life as a whole asap" era...

So disappointing

[Tcharm]

Well he is a coke head so that along with a gambling addiction makes sense. 

[OrgVisual]

I feel so sad for him

 

He's extremely talented and successful (and could be one of this generation's legends if he focuses more on his music), but i guess life doesn't give you everything.

The worse thing is that for paying his debt he has to continue performing in Vegas and that way he is never going to heal…

MGM and all casinos have hotlines and resources for gambling addiction.

Every ad and event literally has disclaimers to help guests. Including the option of guests excluding himself (aka banning themselves) from gambling.

Security will literally drag people away if they have excluded themselves.

 

Plus, a lot of millionaires now for some reason are staying in Henderson (where the mega mansions are now becoming more common)

Far away from casinos. I myself live in Vegas, and don't gamble either. Just because he's performing in Vegas, doesn't mean he can heal.

 

He has unlimited resources + make over a million A NIGHT. I think it's more of Bruno (himself and his yes-men) not putting limits on himself, literally.

he only mkaes 1.5 millions a night, oh wow hes in trouble

Obviously he's not going to be on the street, but when you're THAT deep in debt and that much of your wage is being garnished to pay it off, that must be incredibly suffocating and terrifying.

 

Especially when you factor in what his expenditure must be. It's all relative. 

[LittleStarmen]

This is really sad. Such a talent
