Cage is moving to sue the former manager due to the actor&#8217;s sudden cash crunch, which includes a boat load of debt and over $7 million in back taxes. But Levin has a story of his own to tell, and it involves excess on a scale that we can hardly imagine. According to Levin, the actor purchased a scad of <em>really<\/em> expensive stuff. Like a $7.5 million island in the Bahamas, 15 mansions, four yachts, a Gulfstream, 47 pieces of art and even nine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/phantom\">Rolls-Royce Phantoms<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Now we can understand owning nine exotics, or even collecting hundreds of rare cars and storing them at the Burbank airport, but nine Phantoms? At least Reilly purchased a Ferrari with his <em>National Treasure<\/em> money. We&#8217;re guessing Cage likes to have a Phantom just about everywhere he is, and since he owns an island and a bunch of mansions he probably has one parked in nine different garages. Regardless, we&#8217;re having a hard time feeling too sorry for Cage, even if Levin is exaggerating. The actor makes about $20 million a film, so while all that excess sounds like a ton of money, we&#8217;re guessing the actor can pay his tab with a couple more movie deals.
