Don’s money troubles mount up
He is married to a society heiress, has been married (twice) to Melanie Griffith, and persuaded a whole generation of men to wear Miami Vice-style pastel suits. So why can’t Don Johnson afford to pay the grocery bill?
Wife Kelley Phleger, the mother of his two most recent children, obviously isn’t picking up the tab and it may have been significant that she went solo to a high-profile charity bash in her home town of San Francisco the other week.
Johnson insists all is well, but in the meantime, his debts are mounting.
Yesterday, he was accused of failing to pay a $6,189 (€5,207) grocery bill in Aspen, Colorado, where he has a home.
He also owes cash to the local hospital, a rug firm, the electricity company and a firm of lawyers in the famed ski resort.
This all comes less than a month after his ranch was declared bankrupt, several months after bank statements supposedly logging $8.8bn (€7.4bn) in transactions were mysteriously discovered in his car at a German border crossing, and a year or so after he auctioned six cars, including a Ferrari Testarossa.
It doesn’t take Inspector Clouseau to work out something’s up.
