Bruno Mars is reported to have accumulated a debt of over 45 million euros to MGM, according to the NewsNation website. The company plays a key role in managing some resorts and casinos in Las Vegas, where the author has been in residency for several years. Recently, Mars had announced the extension of his residency for almost 80 million euros until 2025, which would allow the author to earn one million euros per performance. For now, there has been no comment on the news from representatives of MGM and Bruno Mars, but many are revisiting a past interview with GQ USA, in which the American author talked about his passion for gambling.

The Passion for Gambling

It has been over 11 years since the interview was revisited by many users who commented on the possible indebtedness due to gambling. At that time, the author, while discussing the genesis of Unorthodox Jukebox, his second album that included tracks like When I Was Your Man and Locked out of Heaven, confessed to having started gambling with a friend, occasionally winning even 600 dollars, but during the interview, Mars had taken journalist Chris Heath to a casino with 3,000 euros in cash. Throughout the evening, Mars exhibited some gambling addiction behaviors, emphasizing how at the private table anyone betting less than 1,000 euros was out of place, but most importantly delaying his exit from the casino by half an hour, until 5 o’clock the following morning.
