Rudy Giuliani Files For Bankruptcy
Back in December, Giuliani filed for bankruptcy after he was found liable for defaming two George state election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The 79-year-old owes the pair $148M. According to his filing, he owes as much as $500M in total debt, but only has around $10M in assets.
Other debts include to Hunter Biden, the electronic voting machine companies Smartmatic and Dominion, an accounting firm, and several of his former lawyers, including Robert Costello.
That isn't to say he hasn't tried to make some cash. Once known as "America's Mayor" after the September 2001 attacks on the World Trader Center, he recently sold autographed 9/11 shirts for $911, and even joined Cameo, a service where celebrities record short videos for profit, and charges $325 per video. But, it the dollars haven't added up, and now Giuliani is claiming that Donald Trump owes him money.

"It was my understand that I would be paid by the campaign for my legal work and my expenses to be paid," he said. "When we submitted the invoice for payment, they just paid the expenses. Not all but most. They never paid the legal fees." When asked how much he thinks Trump and his team owes him, Giuliani estimated about $2M. Unfortunately, that still wouldn't be enough to pay all his debts...
