Sharon Stone, 66, reveals exactly how many MILLIONS of dollars she LOST after near-fatal stroke that caused her to be ‘reincarnated into my own body’

Sharon Stone lost millions of dollars when she suffered a stroke more than 20 years ago.

And now the 66-year-old actress has said The Hollywood Reporter how much exactly disappeared from her bank account.

She said she was a a total of $18 million in the bank before her stroke. The money came from her long career in the film world, with hits such as Basic Instinct, Silver, Casino and The Quick And The Dead.

“I had saved $18 million from all my success, but when I went back into my bank account, it was all gone. My refrigerator, my phone — everything was in other people’s names,” she told the site.

“I had zero money,” she told the site about her life after her near-fatal ordeal.

That forced her to take whatever jobs she could get; a contract with Dior helped her survive financially.

Asked if the stroke had changed her way of thinking, she said: “Absolutely. One hundred percent. A Buddhist monk told me I was reincarnated in the same body.”

But when she suffered a brain hemorrhage and then recovered from the near-fatal ordeal, she was left with nothing. Seen in 2001 around the time of the stroke

“I had a death experience and then they brought me back,” Phil Bronstein’s ex added.

‘I bled into my brain for nine days, so my brain was pushed to the front of my face. It wasn’t in the place in my head where it used to be. And as that happened, everything changed.

“My sense of smell, my sight, my sense of touch. I couldn’t read for a couple of years. Things were stretched out and I saw patterns of color. A lot of people thought I was going to die.

‘People took advantage of me during that time.

The star, who returned to acting in the late 2000s and has also built a second career as a painter, had to learn to ‘let go’ and stay in the moment, rather than holding on to feelings of resentment.

She said, “I decided to stay in the here and now and let go.

‘I decided not to hold on to being sick or to any bitterness or anger. If you bite the seed of bitterness, it never leaves you.

“But if you have faith, even if that faith is the size of a mustard seed, you will survive. So now I live for joy. I live for purpose.”

It is not known how much she is worth now, but she seems to be financially healthy. She is a representative of Lens Crafters and reportedly earns tens of thousands of dollars per painting.
