Previously, rumors that the Grammy Award-winning artist had a gambling debt of more than $50 million at MGM surprised fans. NewsNation said it cited anonymous sources who understood that Mars earned $90 million through MGM but used most of those profits to pay off debt .

“Bruno will only make $1.5 million per night (after taxes). Basically, MGM is his creditor,” the newspaper wrote.

Bruno Mars has been performing for Las Vegas residents since 2016 and has a multi-year partnership with MGM Resorts. Additionally, the singer and the casino recently collaborated to open the Pinky Ring cocktail bar and entertainment lounge inside the Bellagio hotel and casino. The venue hosts live performances, all curated by Mars.
