Bruno Mars reportedly owes MGM Casino a substantial sum of $50 million.
In the world of music, Bruno Mars continues to shine, both on and off the stage. The Hawaiian-born singer, who rose to fame with hits like Nothin' on you, Grenade, and Just the Way You Are, has been captivating audiences at the Park MGM Hotel in Las Vegas since 2016 as part of his residency.
Despite recent rumors suggesting a gambling debt of $50 million, MGM International Resorts has publicly denied any such claims. The relationship between Mars and the resort is described as long-standing and based on mutual respect. In fact, Mars has received an annual salary of approximately €83 million for his residency at the Park MGM Hotel.
The speculation about a potential gambling debt began in 2024, but MGM Resorts has clarified that Bruno Mars has no debt with them. The singer himself has humorously addressed and mocked these rumors on his social media platforms, further indicating that the debt stories are unfounded.
Bruno Mars, who has a fondness for gambling and has publicly expressed this on several occasions, has lost money gambling in the past but has also used poker winnings to finance his monthly rent. However, it's important to note that MGM's clear denial covers any debts with their properties.
Mars was born in 1985 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 17 to pursue a career in music. His mother is from the Philippines, and his father is from Puerto Rico. Mars first performed in front of an audience at the age of four, and his talent was evident from the start.
After the success of Nothin' on you, which reached number one in many countries, Mars won two Grammys, in 2011 and 2014. His career has continued to flourish, with hits like Billionaire and Just the Way You Are solidifying his place in the music industry.
In the near future, Mars is scheduled to perform in Thailand and Singapore. His residency at the Park MGM Hotel in Las Vegas will continue from June 7, 2024, and he will perform at numerous shows at the Dolby Live.
