Al Pacino, legendary Hollywood actor

Despite earning millions from hit movies such as TheGodfather trilogy, Scarface and The Scent of a Woman, Al Pacino was almostbroke TWICE at the height of his fame and fortune.

Living “high on the hog”, spending $3-400,000 per MONTH!

Flying private jets and rentinga huge house in Beverley Hills for 20 years!

He once flew his family and nannies on a private Gulfstream500 to London and took an entire floor at the Dorchester.

He left his finances in the hands of a crooked accountant tothe celebrities, who was later sentenced to seven years in jail for running a Ponzischeme.

Pacino loved acting but admits that he was not payingattention to his finances and failed to invest.

In his book, Sonny Boy, he said, “I would give money awaybecause I had it” and “it didn’t feel real, but it was, as I later found out”.

“The amount of money I was spending was so f****** crazy, amontage of loss” the Godfather star added. 

Pacino said when you make $10 million dollars for a movieyou don’t get $10 million dollars. After lawyers, agents and the governmenttake their share you end up with around $4 million.

His living expenses alone were at least that amount beforehe put his own cash into arthouse films which made no money and in many caseswere not even distributed. 

Things were out of control as his staff and expensesexpanded.

He owned two cars, but was paying for sixteen, along with multiplecell phones, salaries and a $400,000 a year for a landscaper on a house hedidn’t even own!

The list goes on and the star wasn’t even signing his owncheques and his money was draining out faster than a leaking pipe.

Hangers on took advantage of Pacino’s generosity as hisstaff and expenses eventually grew beyond his means. 

He said, the more money he made the less he had!

What can we learn from Pacino’s mistakes?

You don’t have to be a movie star to experience the sameissues.

Managing your money is important whether you’re making$100,000 a year or $100 million!
