    Apparently google says his net worth is $175 million. Also: "He earns $90 million a year from the casino deal, but then he has to pay back his debt... after taxes (Mars earns $1.5 million per night).

    No idea if that 1.5m is just to him or after everything (his band/agent...etc). He could eventually pay it off after 30+ performances; or if he has the savings, just settle the payment.

    Mars' general public image has been a good kid. This sort of tarnishes it somewhat. Maybe the news got public, as the Casino putting outside pressure for him to settle the debt.

    He can recover from this; but concerning thing is the gambling habit itself.

    That’s what happens when you flex around with an entourage showing off to the public. What a complete moron. A gambling degenerate will always be a degenerate scumbucket.

    I used to bet small amounts on sports. I wasn't any good at it. I won my share, but not enough to stay out of the red. I also stopped enjoying the games because I'd get angry when games weren't going my way. It wasn't worth it. I wised up and quit gambling on sports along with everything else, although the wife and I occasionally buy lottery tickets.
