Tom Cruise, who sparked rumors of a romance with a 25-year-old singer, has a busy slate of profitable projects lined up for 2025. However, this doesn’t mean he’s about to get richer. According to an insider who has worked with Cruise on several major films, the actor is much less wealthy than people have assumed. But where did his millions go?
In 1986, Tom Cruise became a strong supporter of the Church of Scientology. The insider reveals that the *Mission: Impossible* star has invested millions of dollars into the religious institution. This is why Cruise is far poorer than many believed.
Despite his decades of success, Cruise should have hundreds of millions in his bank account. But he’s been living quite differently, especially in recent years. “He literally lives out of suitcases, traveling from one movie project to the next with almost no vacation,” the insider explains.
Although Tom has earned more than $20 million per film since the mid-90s and has had a career spanning over 40 years, the star’s bank account is “a little empty,” according to someone close to the actor.
“He should be a billionaire by now, but that’s clearly not the case!” the insider adds.
Moreover, Cruise is “living like a ‘working-class’ actor, even though he’s one of the biggest stars in the world.”
The only people happy about Cruise spending millions on Scientology are, according to the source, the leaders of the Church itself.
