JAKARTA - Singer Bruno Mars was reportedly caught in a gambling debt to the MGM casino, which is located at his Las Vegas residential concert in 2016. The death was up to 50 million dollars or around Rp. 784 billion.

"He (Bruno Mars) owes millions of dollars to MGM," said a source.

Bruno Mars has previously spoken about his interest in gambling several times. He admitted to visiting the casino for the first time at the age of 19, as a musician who is still not too famous.

The debt originated from Bruno Mars, who signed a multi-year MGM Resorts International residential concert contract in 2016.

This agreement made the singer of the song "Grenade" appear at various MGM Resorts locations in America, including Park Theater Monte Carlo, Las Vegas.

However, the deal worsened as Bruno Mars had to pay off his gambling debt at the resort casino and had been going on for nearly 9 years. Bruno also had to pay the debt which cost him his income from the cooperation, which made him a big loss.

Bruno Mars was supposed to make 90 million dollars or around Rp. 1.4 trillion from the cooperation of the residential concert. However, after paying off his debts and taxes, Bruno only brought home 1.5 million dollars of Rp. 23 billion per night.

"(MGM) basically owns Bruno Mars now," added the source.
