Last week, a source said that although Bruno Mars earned nearly $90 million per year through his residency, he only earned $1.5 million after taxes, due to having to deduct a relatively large gambling debt.

However, MGM Resorts, the organizer of Bruno Mars' residency tour, spoke out to defend the singer earlier this week, asserting that these allegations were "completely false" because he "has no debt to MGM".
“We are proud to partner with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most dynamic and engaging performers,” Jenn Michaels, senior vice president of public relations at MGM Resorts International, said in a statement. “In every event, the Bruno Mars ‘brand’ has attracted guests from all over the world. MGM and Bruno’s partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any mercenary or destructive speculation is false. He owes MGM nothing. With this partnership, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.”
When asked for comment, a representative for the Grenade singer declined and indirectly directed the statement to MGM.
Bruno Mars has been performing in Las Vegas since 2016 and has a multi-year partnership with MGM Resorts, and he and the brand recently teamed up to open the Pinky Ring bar and lounge inside the Bellagio hotel and casino.
