'Cash-Strapped' Mariah Carey on the Hunt for a New Boy Toy: 'She’s Spending Money Like a Billionaire'

Mariah Carey, the pop diva known for her extravagant lifestyle, is reportedly in the midst of a financial crisis that is complicating her search for a new boy toy. Sources close to the 55-year-old singer claim that her lavish spending habits are catching up with her, making it difficult for her to maintain her high-flying lifestyle while auditioning potential suitors.

Following her split from backup dancer Bryan Tanaka, 41, late last year, Mariah has been quietly seeking a new man to fill the void. However, insiders suggest her growing cash problems are making it harder than ever to attract a new beau. "She has a very high net worth on paper, but she's now massively in debt and cash poor," an insider revealed to Globe US. "She spends money like she's a billionaire, and there's real concern she could drive herself into the poorhouse if she doesn't rein it in."

Looking for Love, and Spending Big

Mariah’s search for love has reportedly seen her auditioning younger men, but it seems her financial situation may be a deal-breaker. "She's realistic—she knows her money is a big part of the draw," the source shared. "She enjoys spending on them. She gets off on throwing her money around."

In the past, Mariah has been known to lavish her boyfriends with luxury gifts, including designer clothes, expensive haircuts, and all the bling they could want. Private jets, gourmet meals, five-star hotels, and limo service were all part of the deal for the pop icon’s former flames. But now, according to insiders, Mariah simply can’t afford to maintain this lifestyle.

Debt Mounting

With her finances under strain, Mariah’s ability to keep up with her extravagant spending is being questioned. "She's millions in debt," the source added. "She's been taking out loans for years to support her shopaholism, and it's catching up to her."

The mounting expenses of maintaining not only her own lifestyle but also that of her boyfriends have doubled her financial burdens, sources say. As a result, the singer is reportedly being forced to scale back. "She's considering whether it's a better idea to latch on to someone with his own financial stability rather than a boy toy who, let's face it, would only be a grifter!"

Seeking Financial Stability?

As Mariah continues her search for love, some insiders suggest she may need to rethink her approach. With rumors swirling that her financial situation is spiraling out of control, the once-untouchable diva may need to focus on finding a partner who can provide more than just good looks and charm.

"Mariah’s lifestyle just isn’t sustainable at this rate," the source concluded. "She needs to rein in her spending if she wants to avoid falling into financial ruin."
