Nic Cage Settles Financial Ruin Lawsuit

Nicolas Cage has settled his mega-lawsuit with the accountant Nic claims ruined him financially ... TMZ has learned.

Nicholas Cage Lawsuit

We picked up documents at the court this AM showing Nic and CPA Sam Levin settled their suit/countersuit Monday.

Nic claimed Levin made reckless investments -- especially in real estate -- that cost him millions. Cage also blames Levin for a $14 million tax debt.  In his countersuit, Levin claimed Nic was a spendthrift who bought $33 million worth of homes and 22 cars, including 9 Rolls-Royces.

As for the terms of the settlement -- confidential.  All we could get from one source was this:  "Nic is happy that it is resolved."

Define happy.

A "spendthrift" would be someone who DOESN'T spend much money. Dur.

Word czar:  529 days ago

A spendthrift (also called profligate) is someone who spends money prodigiously and who is extravagant and recklessly wasteful. The origin of the word is someone who is able to spend money acquired by the thrift of predecessors or ancestors.

"Thrifty" means careful and diligent in the use of resources or just cheap!

Cage got ****. I'm sure the accountant threatened to expose the actor's spending habits, which included $1 million on comics!

Where are his autos going to sold off? Thru some nearby auction house! Who has the funds to purchase such a nice estate full to the rim with autos!
Why could he not live more concervatively, perhaps join the Navy and paint the PT boat!
Get a clue, degreed economist from the bank have been seen to walk the "public right of way" with an empty cart from the nearby grocers! How and why could Nicalous pocess this entire amount of wealth! Haven't you heard of a lease agreement!
