Been listening to the coverage of the Manafort trial, and several times my jaw has just dropped listening to his spending habitats - all of which led to enormous debt (duh) and (to hear the prosecution tell it) his shady dealings with the Ukraine
Among some highlights:
He collected more than $60MM over a 5 year period, but blew through it all within a few years
Spent $15,000 on an ostrich jacket, bought a $21,000 watch and wired $849,215 to a men's NY clothing store (plus another $520k in clothes in California)
Renovations on his NY apartment totaling $5.4MM
Landscaping on his house in the Hamptons: $820k
Antique rugs for $934k
$300,000 for Yankees season tickets (bought on a credit card)
