In the sneak peak of a long interview with Financial Times due to be published this weekend, Lady Gaga talks about how the media got the Gaga/Madonna comparison all wrong and what she’s doing with her mountains of cash.
Now, the Madonna thing doesn’t interest me at all but the money one does. Why? Because when asked what she’s done with the $90 million Forbes estimates she earned over the past 12 months, she said:
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 license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car. Other than that, I put everything in the show and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the Monster Ball.
Unless her dad’s heart valve was made out of solid gold and the Rolls Royce had diamond windows and used orphan tears for fuel, the bankruptcy thing is a big ole’ pile of grade A BS.
