Michael Douglas Upset Over Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Wealth Remarks

LOS ANGELES, CA — Michael Douglas is reportedly upset with his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, after her recent comments about their wealth in an interview. According to sources, the actor feels her remarks made the couple seem ‘out of touch’ during financially challenging times for many.

The 81-year-old Oscar-winning actor was reportedly furious after Zeta-Jones discussed their property portfolio, which includes four luxurious homes across three countries. The comments drew criticism as many fans struggle financially. A close friend of Douglas shared, ‘Michael’s raging that Catherine came across as flaunting their wealth.’ He believes they should focus on family instead of fortune.

In the interview, Zeta-Jones referred to their lifestyle as ‘not excessive’ and ‘very comfortable,’ stating, ‘I love to surround myself with beauty.’ She also joked about their Academy Awards, saying she keeps hers separate from his to avoid any rivalry.

The couple has been married for nearly 24 years and shares two grown children. While Zeta-Jones has publicly embraced discussing her lifestyle, sources indicate that Douglas prefers to keep their financial matters private.

Insiders mentioned that Douglas is concerned about the public perception of their wealth and believes Zeta-Jones’ comments may have made them seem elitist. Another source explained, ‘Michael’s old-school — he doesn’t like to talk about money or possessions.’

Despite the backlash, Zeta-Jones has reportedly stood by her comments, feeling that they were misunderstood. Friends revealed she believes she was merely being honest about her love for beautiful things.
