NICOLAS Cage is on the verge of going broke, reports claim.
The Oscar-winning actor is said to be short on cash and owes $6.3 million in back taxes.
The star, 45, is liquidating much of his vast real-estate empire and blaming his financial woes on his ex-manager, whom he’s sued for $20 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Cage — who owns apartments in New York, a Bavarian castle in Germany, Dean Martin’s former home in Beverly Hills, Calif., and a townhouse in Bath, England, among others — is trying to sell several of his luxury properties.
Cage claims in court papers that Samuel J. Levin, his former business manager, is at fault for his financial troubles, giving bad advice that put the actor on a path to his financial ruin.
The actor is seeking $20 million in damages.
Mr. Levin couldn’t be reached for comment, says the WSJ.
