According to Al Pacino, he was warned that the accountant “could not be trusted”, but the actor initially did not attach much importance to these words. But after making a few big expenses, he decided to examine his personal finances and discovered that he was “broke.”
“I had 50 million dollars [накоплений]and then there was nothing left. There was property but no money. “I’m completely devastated,” he said.

“At that time, I wasn’t young anymore and I wasn’t making as much money making movies as I used to. The big fees I was used to were no longer available. “It has become more difficult for me to find roles for myself,” the actor shared.
