Wayne Newton Is 80, Look at Him Now After Losing All His Money
Ойын-сауық
Did you know that Wayne Newton had ties to the mob and that he really likes exotic animals? Decades ago, Wayne Newton was one of the most popular performers on the Las Vegas scene. Despite the success that he has seen in his career, he has never been very good with money. Wayne started facing serious financial difficulties in the 1980s, and he’s still struggling today. Thankfully for fans, this hardship makes it so that the 80-year-old singer is still actively performing, though he’d probably prefer to be taking it easy.

According to legend, Wayne Newton began performing professionally when he was only 6 years old. By the time he was an adult, he was talented enough that he was able to make a name for himself as a solo crooner. Over the course of his career, the singer has found the majority of his success in Las Vegas. During his early years, he was content with being a performer on the stage. However, by the 1980s, Wayne decided that he wanted to become the owner of his own hotel. Sadly, when he made the decision, he didn’t take his lack of business skills into consideration.
In order to gain control of his own hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Wayne had to rely on mob connections. Owing money to the wrong people didn’t prove a good choice for the singer’s finances, and neither did falsify his income reports to the IRS. Over the course of the 1980s, Wayne went broke due to all of the money that he owed. In 1992, he filed for bankruptcy. In the decades since, the singer has barely managed to stay afloat. Wayne can still be caught performing today at the age of 80 due to the fact that he needs to make as much money as possible in order to pay off his debts. Join Facts Verse as we look at how Wayne Newton is doing after losing all of his money.

When I worked as a chauffeur, I had Wayne Newton for a couple of days . I picked up him along with his wife and daughter and some family members in a SUV . He chose to ride up front with me and was very nice. After a show at Lindenwood University, I told him that it was a great performance and that if he kept it up he might have a future in show business. He and the others had a good laugh . It was fun and I must say I've never seen hair that black before. Good times.

I met Wayne Newton when he came to Lemoore's casino TACHI and gave a concert. At the End of His performance He came to the front and said a life changing statement . He said : Thank you for your LIFE !! The room stayed silent for a few seconds because everybody Started to Thik what does Waye Mean? Then he explained. He Said: You Have given me 2 hours of your time, and time is not replaceable. Your Time is your LIFE !!! Therefore you gave me part of your life and I appreciate that!! This statement of Wayne Newton was a big eye opening for me. I No Longer say : The Time is not going by fast, I'm bored. !!! Since Then I have been Managing and Respecting Time as Best As Possible! TIME is Life And I never wish to waste It anymore. So Thank You Dear Wayne!!🙏

Wayne claims his daughter from his first marriage was once threatened with kidnapping unless he paid up first. When the Las Vegas police refused to do anything he turned to "special friends" in Vegas to make the threat disappear. This is how the rumors of his mob ties began. BTW, he is extremely generous and has helped numerous residents of Vegas down on their luck.

I met him once in person, through a friend, after one of his incredible, transcendent shows at the Sands. Being in the audience, in the moment, made me extra happy to be alive to witness his energy and star power. When he talks to you, you have his complete attention, and his follow-up questions are spot on. It was unbelievable. He was a total gentleman. I wish him and his lovely wife well, and thank him for his electrifying shows that, surely, are in a league of their own.

@@FactsVerse you should do something on Stephen King stories/books that became hit movies. There are a lot more than people realize. Hollywood owes him some type of "Lifetime Achievement Award'. Most people don't even know he wrote Shawshank Redemption.
Like Elvis, he has a big heart and freely gives people charity but is his own worse enemy financially. His show and the Siegfried and Roy were the two must see Acts in Vegas for years. I wish Newton the best! He’s led an incredible life.
Many years ago we were in a restaurant and Wayne Newton and entourage came in. Two young girls approached the table and asked for autographs, he not only signed for them but was so gracious he got up to take photos with them, very impressive
I like him. I wish him the very best. A great talent and loving man. ❤
Wayne had some great songs. Glad to see he is doing well

Yes, he does. Which of his songs appealed to you the most?
I’ve watched Wayne since the beginning of his career….he’s my age! He was this young innocent, and sad that he didn’t seek financial advice early on. I only wish him well! ❤❤❤❤❤
Around 1964 I was a bass player with Don Corey and the Montereys.We were booked in the lounge at the original famous Copa Cabana in NY City. He was on tour at the time and the Copa was one of his major performance clubs. He, of course, was a young boy.His voice and tonal pitch were amazing. We shared the same dressing room at the Copa and it was truly an honor. I hope he gets to read this just to see if he remembers this incredible occasion.
Living above your means has a terrible ending. Am shocked at his financial standing or downfall. Miracle Newton is still alive.

He is a good man very nice to his fans!! ❤
I knew him a little bit when I was a performer in Las Vegas. I love the guy! He was always nothing but nice to me. My bass player, Danny DeMorales was also Wayne Newton's bass player, and I would tell jokes in the lounges and showrooms where I was working and couldn't figure out why, when I went to see Wayne's show at the Hilton, I think it was, Wayne was telling my jokes!!!! Turns out Danny would go over there after doing an early show with me and spread those jokes around backstage and Wayne would pick up on them. Haha. I don't care. You can't copyright a joke! I've stolen plenty myself! Wayne was an incredible singer with a voice of silk and satin. And how he loves his audiences! What a performer. One of the best. One of the very best that every lived!
Mr. Newton and his crew were always very kind to me and I wish him all the very best.

@@FactsVerse ~ If I may add my 2 cents here - Sammy Davis Jr. and Wayne Newton are tied for the hardest working and most talented cabaret-style entertainers ever.
Probably one of the hardest working performers ever!

I really like Wayne Newton. I went to a concert in my city and it was fabulous.
Me again, Mr. New Vegas, reminding you that you're nobody till somebody loves you. And that somebody is me. I love you.
Daddy don't you walk so fast was one of my favor songs. I think that's when his voice was at it's best. He had a very distinct sound.
That's a very interesting video about Wayne Newton and it's unfortunate that he had some many financial setbacks but you have to remember it's him the public keeps coming back to see!
Seen him in concert many years ago in St. Louis. Wonderful show. My mom, daughter, brother and I loved him. The effects were great and so was his singing. Never knew about the Mafia but so was Frank Sinatra. Not everyone is good with money or chores the right person to handle it. Elvis had the greedy Colonel handle his. Look at that mess. Keep up the singing Wayne. Money pays the bills but can't buy you happiness.❤️❤️❤️
I'm Eighty-Four and have watched Wayne's career progress since the early sixties on Arthur Godfrey show. He is an amazing singer and performer. We all have troubles throughout our life and Wayne has had his share. Glad he has a happy marriage and two daughters. Wow 60 years and Counting of his career. Shame you cannot trust a lot of people!
So sad to hear, I’ve never really been a fan but hate to see his life decay. Sad for the animals, I have cats and can attest to the cost of healthcare, I also rescue somebody has to do it. Good luck Wayne, be safe😎💙🐾
I have seen Wayne Newton a few times. Awesome entertainer. He gives it everything.

Wow I had no idea he was in debt and all those issues. He’s still a star to me.
In the 1960's adults just loved Wayne Newton, he was just a wholsome happy polite young American who loved people. The truth is that his most ardent fans are too elderly now to go see him and support his talent or they have passed away. This is a lesson for all of us to accept our years and maybe trim our expenditures as we earn less. I wish everything wonderful for Wayne, he deserves a couple of good friends to help him straighten the details out so he can live without stress. Prayers for you Wayne.
Wayne is always kind to his animals. That's worth something😨

We saw Newton in Vegas in the 90s. We got there kind of late and the maître d’ put us at a table with a blonde lady and a younger girl like a teenager. It turned out it was his wife. That was pretty cool we didn’t know until, he pointed her out and sang a song to her
I have always admired and revered Wayne Newton. And that’s never going to change.
Wayne Newton is a famous Pop Singer, born on April 3, 1942 in United States. As of January 9, 2023, Wayne Newton’s net worth is $50 Million. He has been nicknamed Mr. Las Vegas.
I saw him as a boy at the Music Circus. Nice young man! Bless him! RWB ❤🎉

Wayne is an absolute icon in music and as crazy as it sounds, when I met my husband, he was a good likeness to Wayne. I met my husband when I was 17 and after 5 months and 2 weeks of dating we were married until he passed away after our 51st anniversary. One thing I saw in him was how much he looked like Wayne Newton at the time. We were always together and we never got tired of making great memories together. The memories we made are what I live on he was and still is the love of my life !! After my husband had 2 full strokes and a partial stroke, it was like he had programmed himself to tell me how much he loved me. Since he passed away, I can still hear him telling me he loves me. It's kinda wild but the day I met him and remarked about him looking so much like Wayne Newton that still today my mind goes to the likeness. Just as Wayne is one of a kind, so too is the husband that I married!! From the day my husband came into my life he was all I wanted or needed, and, there is no need to look for another !! When you have had the closest thing to a perfect husband as I had, it's not even in me to settle for second best !! I'm happy to know Wayne is happily married to his wife, and, I'm sure he will know just what I'm saying, my wish for him is the happiness he so richly deserves !!❤
Wayne Newton is one of the very best entertainers ever!!!! I remember seeing him on TV when he looked to be about 17 and I thought to myself, gosh that guy is going to be a great star. He was born in the same city I was, Norfolk, Virginia. He is three years older than me but he is still to this day a ĝreat entertainer if not the very best ever. He has been entertaining his whole life!!!! We have two things in common, we were born in the same city and our love of horses!!! I have a signed picture of him on my table!!! He is one of a kind and so polite. I think of him and his family often!!!! May God continue to bless him, and many thanks for keeping us entertained!!!! We here in Virginia still love him!!!!❤❤
He’s a great guy, so it doesn’t matter. Everybody experience financial difficulties at least once in their life.
