As the world mourns the loss of Robin Williams, reports about his financial troubles are also emerging. According to a friend who spoke to Radar Online, the comedy icon was facing struggles with money and addiction. "All he could talk about ere serious money troubles," the friend was quoted as saying. "There were clearly other issues going on and Robin sounded distant during the telephone conversation."

Williams opened up about his money problems in a magazine interview last year with Parade in which he mentioned how hard it was to deal with divorce. "Divorce is expensive," Williams said. "It's ripping your heart through your wallet."
