The Guardian says that Francis Ford Coppola is broke. [View all]

The article title is:

Strapped for cash: why Francis Ford Coppola is flogging his watches

Source of Article

Later in the article:
In other words, Francis Ford Coppola is broke.


I wish I was broke like that.

But the good news is that this is an excellent time to be an obscenely wealthy watch collector. To shore up his funds a little, Coppola is holding what amounts to a hugely upmarket yard sale, in which he will sell one of his million-dollar watches.


I wonder how many mansions he owns.

AI on Duck-Duck-Go says:
Francis Ford Coppola has an estimated net worth of $400 million, primarily earned through his successful film career and ventures in winemaking. He is known for directing iconic films like "The Godfather" trilogy and has also invested in various businesses, including his winery, Inglenook.


I feel so bad for him. Perhaps he should be given some of that unspent SNAP money.
