Coppola likely is close to bankruptcy.

He sold his wineries and mortgaged his home(s) to raise money for his last film, Megalopolis, when no studio would touch it.

It flopped big time, winning several Razzies last year.

Those AI summaries don’t include his debts, which include at least $200 million borrowed against his remaining stake in the wine business.
