Sharon Stone revealed in a speech that she lost half her money to a 'banking thing.' She also reflected on the recent loss of her brother, Patrick Stone.
The "Basic Instinct" star received the Courage Award on Thursday night during the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s An Unforgettable Evening fundraiser, and as she encouraged people to donate, she shared her own financial concerns.
"I know that thing that you have to get on and figure out how to text the money is difficult. I’m a technical idiot, but I can write a f---ing check. And right now, that’s courage, too, because I know what’s happening. I just lost half my money to this banking thing, and that doesn’t mean that I’m not here," Stone said.collapse of Silicon Valley Bank Sharon Stone appeared to allude to the Silicon Valley Bank collapse during a speech at a fundraiser this week.
The bank, which primarily served tech start-ups, was the 16th largest bank when it was shut down on March 10 by California regulators. The FDIC took over the bank's operations following a liquidity crisis as depositors rushed to withdraw their money amid a panic over the bank's health. It was the second-largest bank failure in United States history and the largest since Washington Mutual went under in 2008.
"My brother just died, and that doesn’t mean that I’m not here," she told the audience. "This is not an easy time for any of us. This is a hard time in the world, but I’m telling you what, I’m not having some politician tell me what I can and cannot do. How I can and cannot live, and what the value of my life is and is not. So stand up. Stand up and say what you’re worth. I dare you. That’s what courage is.
