Brendan Fraser Can't Live On $205,000 A Month
Brendan Fraser filed some WOE IS ME legal papers in Connecticut last month, because his ex-wife Afton Smith expects him to pay $900,000 a year in alimony and child support for their three kids. But Brendan claims that he's so broke that it's only a matter of time before he has to put on his George of the Jungle costume to sell $20 hand jobs to fanboys in the men's bathroom at Comic-Con. Brendan laid it on thick by saying that he doesn't know if he'll ever make another dime again and he's just not shitting out gold bars like he used to. Brendan's wife was not convinced, so he filed more papers that show that he ends up in the red every single month. According to TMZ, Brendan laid out his monthly finances like this:
+ $205,704.04 - What he makes every month.
+ $25,800.26 - What he gets in interest and stocks and stuff every month.
- $112, 803.25 - What he pays for professional expenses (agents, lawyers, managers, etc).
- $50,000 - What he pays his ex-wife in alimony.
- $25,000 - What he pays his ex-wife in child support.
- $5,200 - What he pays his gardener.
- $5,000+ - What he pays for the mortgage on his properties.
- $6,000+ - What he pays for property taxes.
- $34,132.52 - What he pays the IRS each month.
- $5,000 - What he pays for other kinds of insurance (health, life, etc...)
- $5,000 - What he spends on family support and gifts.
- $3,000 - What he spends on staffing.
- $7.77 - What he spends on pet care.
TMZ says the list goes on and on, and shows that he's losing $87,000 a month. But it's not like Brendan will be turning tricks near the train tracks with Lindsay Lohan, because he's got around $25 million in assets.
Two things blow my mind: 1) That Brendan Fraser is bringing in that much money a month in the year 2013 and; 2) That Brendan Fraser pays his gardener that much money. Dude needs to get one of those lawn Roombas. Or he needs to do what some of my family members do: just let your front lawn grow wild until the neighbors get sick of it trashing up the block and mow it themselves.
And I'm guessing that the $7.77 is to buy seeds to feed whatever animal is on top of his head.

Brendan needs to do a few push ups, etc., We call actresses on it all the time. I like BF, but this pity party is cancelled.
I know others have addressed this, but I'll say it again...his gardener makes $5,200 A MONTH? Does he live in the rainforest?? Not saying it isn't earned, but shit, I'd push a wheelbarrow and water daisies -- I'd even dress up as a gnome for that kind of job / monthly income. I have gone into the WRONG field. Office bitches are NOT the ones. Damn.

Looks like he needs 100 grand a month just to pay the electric bill for running the anal sex machine in his basement 24/7. Christ almighty, boy.

Not to defend the guy but it is not evil to be rich if he worked for it and is managing his money well. He's had good financial sense to try to ensure his economic future for when he is not making 5-10mil a role. Being in the hole means he is living above his means and should deal with that but based on what's listed here, when broken down, the only thing that is really pushing him over is what he pays for divorce lawyers, which, no doubt, was the point of making the expenses public. The pet care thing was added sarcasm. Probably a personal insult to something she left behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Agreed with your very cogent points. However, there is some rampant wealth envy in the comments here sometimes. However overpaid celebrities may be, how many people here would not take a fantastic salary?
Animal control needs to do an intervention cause I pay $7 a day on my puppeh and kittehs....that is just horrible, I am trying to wrap my head around exactly what pet costs only $7.77, possibly a bunny but thems be hungry mo fo's too....
Pet care is for one albino mouse (the one that got away from the snake he used to own) in a glass aquarium and the left-over seeds are definitely useful in feeding the thing on his head.
$5k for a gardener? i hope he gets a happy ending.
Submitted by lislop on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 10:53pm.
I don't begrudge $5k to a gardener who probably works harder than the managers and lawyers who take half his salary, and yet are not getting him enough work.
------------------------
Agreed! I don't begrudge the gardener but it seemed odd to pay so much when the mortgage is so low. If he's paying 6k a month in property tax that's about $32k annually which would value his lands and home(s) at greater than $2M (don't know Cali real estate valuations) so why only 5K a month in mortgage? The gardener salary would make sense on a 2M home but not on a 5K mortgage to me! I guess he could have paid more than half in cash to reduce his interest rate but this mortgage seems still way too low for Cali real estate values. This is what is making me snarky.

We hope something very bad happens to obvious homosexual Brendan!
Lol RandéS, that he does. And I don't even think his lawn or the gardener are getting the recognition they deserve. ha!
And those are still crazy numbers. If his people are not hiding any funds from the ex and he's honestly finding it hard to survive, then he should get better money managers and accountants to reign in his spending and get things in order because those numbers are just sad.

Agreed, if these figures are in any way factual, Frasier needs to hire better accountants/agents. Hope you're doing good tonight!

Leave accountants out of the equation. If this fucker is raking in $240,000 a month and only paying the IRS 34,000 a month, his tax people are more than doing their job keeping his ass under 15%. Accountants do not dictate his investment practices; a person has to be registered with the SEC to do that.

RandéS, none of those movies look like they have any significant budget, do they? Looks more like Shannen Doherty's filmography...
No idea. But he grosses $205k/month. And apparently has a killer lawn.

@Ecce Homo, hi there! Indeed, plus his lawyers would easily claim he was spending that much to shelter his income. I don't doubt that stars spend a lot on their agents etc. I doubt he has that much of a big star life any more. Seems more like an underwhelming management team, tbh. But I could be wrong. Hope you had a good night as well.

At my previous home I paid the gardener at least $10,000 every month sometimes as high as $14,000 depending on the planting season. We were just one account. He probably had 10-12 clients not quite as large. Let's just say for a father and two sons plus the Hispanics he employes, he does very well. Wears a Presidential Rolex and takes several vacations every winter all over the world.
Do you need a gardener? I'm unemployed and Hispanic

"I'm sure he doesn't want to dip into his principle, which would then be gone forever. It looks like he needs to tighten his belt and sequester himself."
That's my take on the situation also. I mean, is it so WRONG that he wants to look after his own interests? It's not like anyone else will.

Hi there, Within! Yes, I'm surprised too at the way his money is rollin' in, but on the other hand, it seems like it goes rolling out again very quickly. Agreed, if these figures are in any way factual, Frasier needs to hire better accountants/agents. Hope you're doing good tonight!

Goodness, those figures are mind boggling! I'm shocked he makes that much and the amount he pays in professional and management fees for a non-existent career is horrific. The IRS too. Are those back payments? managers must be hiding funds for him because that is unbelievable. Gardening is expensive so compared to the almost $150,000 he's paying out, the rest is minor.And for someone earning that much and only making 25,000 interest, is that 1%??? bad investments and management. no wonder he's broke! Needs a better accountant, that's what! lol at the animal on his head!

Ecce Homo - Well, the economy is shittastic at this time. Has been for a while and will continue to be for maybe the rest of eternity the way things are going. Hollywood is in horrible shape, his return on investments is probably much less than they have ever been since nobody can buy anything, real estate can only be sold at a huge loss these days, and the interest rate is being kept at practically 0, which is supposed to encourage lending but is messing with savings and pensions big time. I'm sure he doesn't want to dip into his principle, which would then be gone forever. It looks like he needs to tighten his belt and sequester himself.
I LOVE that all the Dlisters are focusing on the $7.77 spent on 'pets'...let's see. I don't even know where to start with my two cats -Fancy Feast, dry food, catnip, litter, toys every time I go to the store, random cheetah print cat beds, TEMPTATIONS etc (oh yes I AM a crazy cat lady)...I NEVER thought this dude was hot his budget is absolutely sickening.

Looking at his list of expenses, it's odd that he doesn't have cable.
I like Brendan, always have but he needs to do a few sit-ups and stop making goofy faces for candid photographers. I'm surprised he's so rich, but what the hell, he's likeable so I can't hate on him for that.
That said, I think there's more to this divorce/alimony/child support battle than we're all hearing about, because he doesn't strike me as a cheap or vindictive guy. Just my two cents, though.

As someone who recently lost out on an $11/hr POS job with NO benefits because I wasn't "perky" enough, this makes me physically ill. I live in constant fear that my electricity is going to be cut off and this NO TALENT LOSER is as rich as Croesus.
Hope the judge gives the ex what she wants and then some, maybe that'll learn Brendan Fraser a lesson or two about money, marriage, and life. Although in reality, it will probably just be a deciding factor in him hiding his Mummy millions in Burkina Faso.
The super rich whining about their perceived lack of money REALLY grates on my nerves. Join the rest of the world, asshole.

i think the 7.77 is a typo. It may be 777 or they missed some digits transcribing the document.

So apparently even mediocre Hollywood types make sick money and forget what the value of money fucking is. What a shock.
Between food, nail clips, day care (ok not a strict necessity but I feel she deserves to hang with her buds three days a week while I'm at work--the other two she stays home), vet visits, and various toys/bones, my puppeh is my biggest expense and worth every cent. BF must have a turtle.
Should read gardener/boyfriend. My gardeners/lawn mowers/edgers/driveway blowers get $140 a month. I get three- four college guys for that price. They come every Friday and more oft than not are shirtless.

Sucky, I'm sure Brendan also likes his gardener's rich ass. For the amount of money he's paying, he (or she) must be a great lay. There's no other way to justify that salary.

How is he paying less for mortgage than the gardener? He growing his weed? And why is he paying half his salary to management? That's a bad contract and he needs to renegotiate it. But since he's a fool paying that much for a gardner while living in a condo...
I got nothing for a rich dude who spends 5K a month in gifts/bribes and less then $10 a month for pet care. That doesn't even cover food for 1 gold fish or guppy! Cheap bastard.
He's full of bullshit. And wtf kind of pet care only costs $7.77???

And what the fuck happened to his face and hair? He was cute and brooding in School Ties and now he looks like some bloated ass bum who reads newspapers at the public library while secretly beating off to women who walk by.
pet care probly means lube & tissue. now the cost makes much more sense.
