Al Pacino Recalls Going Broke Twice Despite Starring in Iconic Films

Al Pacino opened up about going broke twice while he was starring in several iconic films, including ‘The Godfather’

In addition to paying for his staff, Pacino also had three children to care for including daughter Julie Marie, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Jan Tarrant, and twins Anton and Olivia, whom he welcomed with ex Beverly D’Angelo. Pacino did manage to find financial relief at one point, though he alleged that the influx of cash came from an unnamed accountant who was later found guilty of running a Ponzi scheme and served time in prison. Pacino’s second financial struggle occurred later in life — the actor noted that “the big paydays” he was previously used to “weren’t coming around anymore.” To make ends meet, he ultimately decided to accept a role in Adam Sandler ’s 2011 comedy Jack and Jill.
