GEORGE’S WILD $PENDING $PREES

George Clooney may have been the planet's highest-paid actor in 2018, but wife Amal would like him to stop flaunting it, please. The couple are reportedly at odds over the actor’s lavish spending, which Amal finds “out of touch with the real world” in which so many are suffering, not to mention off-brand with her life’s work: humanitarian efforts. “He thinks nothing of dropping tens of thousands at a time on designer suits, jewelry, antiques. It’s gotten way out of control and Amal’s grossed out by it,” says a source. When she scolded her husband about his spendthrift ways, though, the insider says, George was blindsided. “He was so used to his Hollywood-type girlfriends demanding nothing but luxury over the years, he assumed Amal would require the same,” says the insider — but his highly conscientious wife is quite the opposite. Amal’s even suggested monitoring George with an allowance, something that makes him feel uncomfortably mothered, the source says. George feels he’s worked hard and does plenty of good with his cash, including sponsoring refugees and making political donations, and that he deserves to enjoy his riches some. The couple are “at a bit of a stalemate on the issue.”
