According to sources, Bruno Mars owes MGM Grand Casino $50 million in gambling debt. Despite soon entering his ninth year performing residency in Las Vegas, it appears that the singer is still paying off his debts to MGM. A “well-placed Vegas insider” revealed that Mars “owes millions” to MGM and they “basically own him.”
Mars reportedly earns $90 million from the casino deal he makes, but after paying off his debts and taxes, it is said that he takes home $1.5 million per night. Both MGM and Mars have yet to comment on the issue.
Aside from his supposed financial struggles with MGM, Mars recently released new music with Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic. The duo’s debut album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, received a five-star rating from NME, with critics praising the album’s joyful and radiant songs.
In other news, Mars has partnered with guitar brand Fender to create his own signature Stratocaster. As the singer said, “Every song is like a puzzle you have to solve, and a good guitar can bring something out of you that can help take you to the finish line. That’s what I wanted from this guitar.”
Regardless of his financial situation, it doesn’t seem like Mars will be slowing down any time soon. Whether he’s performing in Vegas or making music with Silk Sonic, the singer’s talents remain in high demand
