Madonna’s Brother Is Homeless

Madonna’s 55-year-old brother Anthony Ciccone has been living under a bridge in Michigan for roughly 18 months after he lost his job at their father’s winery and vineyard. “My family turned their back on me when I was having a hard time,” he said. “You think I haven’t answered this kind of question a bazillion times why my sister is a multi-bazillionarie, and I’m homeless on the street?” While we don’t know the whole story, it does beg the question, If Madonna can help the children of Malawi should she not help her own brother?
