« Lshit, it always flies in a squadron, ”said the late Jacques Chirac. A formula that Sharon Stone could take up on her own these days… While she is barely recovering from an operation she underwent last November – the removal of a large misdiagnosed fibroid – the star of Basic Instinct announces that it has lost half of its fortune due to the financial crisis affecting several American banks – failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
Guest of honor at a charity event organized by the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, the actress revealed that she had lost “the half of his money because of this bank affair ”, alluding to the current financial crisis in the United States, reports the site of People Magazine. Are they risky investments or investments that suddenly evaporate? The actress did not give any details on this subject. As she received the “Courage” award, in tribute to her commitment to the fight against cancer, she called for continued donations despite everything. “There’s a lot of stuff I can’t do, but I can still write a check. And, nowadays, it is a form of courage. Because we all know what’s going on right now. »
To make matters worse, Sharon Stone recalled that she had also lost her brother, who died at the age of 57 last month from heart disease. “I just lost half my money on this banking thing, and that doesn’t mean I’m not here. My brother just died, and that doesn’t mean I’m not here. It’s a difficult time for everyone, she continued in tears, but stand up, speak your mind, that’s courage! “.READ ALSO Sharon Stone racks up health pips
