Lady Gaga spent more money than she made on outlandish costumes and stage sets for her Monster's Ball concert tour.
Lady Gaga has revealed that the first leg of her massive 'Monster Ball' tour left her "literally bankrupt".Jacked from AOL UK
In an interview with Stephen Fry for the Financial Times, the singer admitted that at one point she was $3m (£1.82m) in debt -- despite having had "five No. 1 singles" under her belt.
It is said that the cost of constantly rejigging the production during the start of the 'Monster Ball' tour, which ran from 2009 to 2011 and grossed over $200m in total, came out of Gaga's pocket, leaving her financially crippled -- even if she didn't quite realise it at the time.
Speaking about money, she said: "It's honestly true that money means nothing to me. The only big things I've purchased are my dad's heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga licence plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car."
But despite not spending big in the real world, she ploughed lots into her tour. She continued: "Other than that I put everything in the show, and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the 'Monster Ball'. And it was funny because I didn't know! And I remember I called everybody and said, "Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous, I have five No. 1 singles" -- and they said, 'Well, you're $3m in debt.'"

Augusta Georgia first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone need to learn how to manage their cash better and not splurge just to get the "it" factor out of their performances. Like mama used to tell me when she whopped me at poker. " A fool and his/her money are often parted.
I am of two minds on this. On one hand, rich people, especially in the entertainment industry, cry poor to minimize their tax exposure. If Maybe Caca claims a loss, her production company pays no taxes on that revenue.
On the other hand, when Maybe Caca first started touring, some music executive said that she was going to come in at a loss because her production costs were so high. The girl basically does a traveling Vegas show. That's not cheap.
The illuminati's number one sex slave will be broke in five years. I guarantee it.

Before it's all said and done, she's gonna lose her mind & have a serious breakdown.
@ Nubian Goddess: Hey ! That's my line. That is all ( false angry face).
her music id to generic to sell on its own , but as long as akon is caking its good. black people need to start making money off the white man. white people will never by a black mans music compared to the white mans. so all black producer / song writers. find a semi talented white person produce there song and writer the music , use them and cake up. like usher did beiber and that black producer did that stupid friday friday bitch
Once again, she's just being pretentious. This chick comes from money. She didn't have to buy her dad's heart valve.
I GUESS BEING THE NEWEST GIMMICK ISN'T ALL THAT GREAT!
SHE FULL GAS, SMOKE, AND COKE!
OVERDOSE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
