Lady Gaga Gives Half Her Earnings to Her Dad

Lady Gaga has claimed that she's practically broke since she's always plugging money into her tours, but now it's clear that there's another reason why she's not always rolling in it: She gives half her earnings to her father. Lucky dad! Also, Rihanna's "We Found Love" video is too real for France, Beyonce figured everyone knew she had a bun in the oven, and Lil' Wayne's handing out turkeys for Christmas.

  •  Lady Gaga still doesn't have her own home in New York City, despite the fact that she's one of the top-earning performers of the past several years. That's because she crashes at her parents' place on the Upper West Side, and because she doesn't have all that much to spend, since she pays 50% to her father under their LLCs, Team Love Child and Mermaid Music.

Gaga obviously considers her father, a businessman who made a mint selling hotel WiFi, one of her most important investors. It was he who, after she decided to drop out of NYU, agreed to fund her for 12 months as she worked towards a career in music.

  •  Fans interested in the Germanotta family dynamic should be sure to tune into A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, which will reveal the singer at home preparing a meal for a family with celebrit gay chef Art Smith... in between performances of all her biggest hits.
