Financial Problems: In February 2017, Richard Dreyfuss made headlines after announcing that he was “broke”. It was a startling admission for someone who had earned tens of millions of dollars during his career. When the reporter followed up to see if he was exaggerating, Richard replied: “When I use the phrase “I’m broke”, it means I’m broke. It means I don’t have the money I had. I wanted to retire and take my wife on cruises. I can’t afford that. I want to be able to go to Europe when I want. I can’t… The Truth is hard to say or hear, but I’ve had an amazing amount of bad luck financially and I realized I didn’t have the money I had.”
