Oscar once glittered in Kevin Spacey’s hands like a promise of greatness. He had two Academy Award wins, global fame, and that unmistakable calm voice that floated through House of Cards, Se7en, and American Beauty. He stood at the very top, loved by Hollywood, was invited everywhere, and was even paid sums that made headlines.
Kevin Spacey’s 2017 Allegations That Changed Everything
However, Spacey’s fall began in 2017 when Anthony Rapp accused him of an unwanted advance from 1986 when Rapp was only 14. Soon, more men came forward, and the #MeToo movement caught fire. Netflix cut ties with him before House of Cards let him go. Hollywood closed its doors as well, and his high life started to sink while fighting legal battles for years.

Legal Battles That Drained Kevin Spacey’s Fortune
The criminal charges were dropped in 2018 and 2019, while Anthony Rapp’s civil suit ended in 2022 with a jury ruling in Spacey’s favor. A London jury acquitted the Hollywood actor of all accusations in July 2023, but freedom in law never became freedom in life.
Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how one perceives), Spacey’s work disappeared, his invitations vanished, and even loyal friends quietly stepped away. He said the money was spent on legal fees because seven years of fighting had drained everything. He sold his house, packed up his life, and placed his things in storage, and now, at 66, the man who once owned Hollywood has no address.
Kevin Spacey’s New Life: No House, No Address, Life in Hotels
Spacey said the costs had been astronomical and very little was coming in, per The Telegraph. He said he was living in hotels and in Airbnbs, carrying a suitcase, and going wherever the work was. He fears bankruptcy but says it has never reached that point. The finances were not great either, though he said he managed to stay just above the collapse. He also tried to stay hopeful, reminding himself that once long ago, he also chased work from place to place, aiming for a break.

“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs,” the two-time Oscar winner said. “I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain… The costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”
Now he sings on stage instead of acting on set. Songs & Stories, his traveling one-man show, took place at a 1,300-seat theater at the Parklance Casino and Spa in Cyrus on November 15. Fans paid nearly $1,400 for front row intimacy and the thrill of seeing a fallen legend croon That’s Life and The Very Thought of You.
The actor compared his situation to the blacklisted actors of the 1950s, people accused of communist links. But despite that, he dreams of Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino making that call. He says once that happens, it will be over.

“So, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call Evan [Lowenstein, Spacey’s manager] tomorrow, it will be over. I will be incredibly honored and delighted when that level of talent picks up the phone,” Spacey shared about his dream.

He speaks of it with strong hope, like the comeback is already warming up backstage.
