Nicolas Cage's Career And Finances Tank

Nicolas Cage

The implosion of Nicolas Cage's acting career and finances, has been astounding to watch. Born Nicolas Kim Coppola, he was once one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, but is now relegated to doing B-List movies that have flopped, one after another. His latest film, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, flopped like nobody's business.

At the height of his fame and popularity, he had $300,000,000 in the bank and could command $15,000,000 per film. However, he became mentally unstable, after joining Kabbalah and squandered his money on frivolous and strange things that did not bear good returns.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

His movie career has plummeted as well, with audiences giving his projects lukewarm receptions. His movies took on a weird and demented tone that audiences just didn't take to, but it reflects his diminished judgment and poor state of mind, to think audiences would warm to such weirdness. In short, he's lost his money and his mind.
