Rooney only worth 18k

[coronet340]

All that work and 93 years to have 18k to your name. Thats crazy.
Sounds like a lot of mismanagement on several counts.

His one son was a dick, I hope when he dies he burns in hell. I have personally known victims of elder abuse, (including the takeover of basically everything they own). It is sad to watch, when a relative destroys a loved one's life for a few thousand dollars

 

[Budnicks]

That's sad, elder abuse & supposedly still working, doing signings, to make a living, after his son, ex-wives & family screwed him out of his fortune allegedly...

 

[theman440]

What a shame...

 

[aldal]

From what I have read he got screwed over in his very early career also....it's sad man.

 

[roadrunnerman]

A lot of the older actors/actresses (laurel and hardy, three stooges) got screwed over from the studios. They never got any royalties from any of their movies cause the studios never offered it to them. Mickey Rooney was young when he started and basically the big studios made it look like they were doing you a favor by putting them in film.

A"regular good man", anyone remember that movie ?

Exactly. Even a lot of music artists had the same thing happen to them.

 

[rev.ronnie]

It would be a lot different if he had enjoyed life right down to his last nickel...sounds like that's not the case.

 

[Moparsmitty]

I don't care who you are or how much $$$$ you have, if you get married and divorced as much as Mickey did you are not going to have much left at the end. It's not right, it's not fair, it's the way it is.

 

[coronet340]

All true statements. But yea 7 almost 8 ex wives would kill anyone.

 

[sleepar]

After a hundred years of plane crashes just as they begin to get business smart or the popularity drops off. Never a coincidence.

Same as lottery winner's.... millions one day and then millions in the hole the next. Had they never one would be modestly plugging along working on retirement.

I don't know how many of em would have a retirement. Usually if you lose all your lottery winnings you were terrible with money to begin with.

Running out of money and dying with zero is just excellent financial planning in my mind. Inherited money is a curse, just like winning the lottery.

I'll suffer.

A good man leaves his children's children an inheritance.
If the one getting the inheritance is halfway money competent then it's a blessing not a curse.
