In 2016, Bruno Mars signed a multi-year residency with MGM Resorts International in Las Vegas.

The singer has been entertaining audiences at Park MGM, but is now reportedly owing $50 million in debt from gambling losses at the casino.

Although he earns $90 million annually from his residency, an insider revealed that “he owes millions to the MGM. They basically own him.”

Speaking with GQ in 2013, Mars talked about his early days of gambling, long before he became well-known. He said he would frequently visit the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles.

He also revealed that he used to play cards to make ends meet.

Regardless of his current financial situation, his residency at Park MGM is set to resume in June. Tickets are available to be purchased and fans anticipate his return to the Las Vegas Stage.
