Basic Instinct famed actress Superstar Sharon Stone has said she lost half her money to “this banking thing”, in an apparent reference to the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, that has spooked markets around the world.
According to a report by Hollywood Reporter, Stone, was speaking at a fundraiser for cancer research in Beverly Hills. In an emotional speech, she urged guests at the event to donate more, while also sharing her financial troubles.
“I’m a technical idiot, but I can write a f—ing check,” Stone said. “And right now, that’s courage, too, because I know what’s happening. I just lost half my money to this banking thing, and that doesn’t mean that I’m not here.”
Sharon did not give any more details about the cause of her money troubles, but her revelation comes shortly after the headline-grabbing demise of Silicon Valley Bank which collapsed this week and caused instability in the financial markets.
