WATCH: Sharon Stone says she ‘lost half’ of her money due to banking failures

Actress Sharon Stone revealed that she lost half of her money in the banking crisis. She was presumably referring to one of the recent bank collapses, including Silicon Valley Bank. Stone made the revelation while accepting the Courage Award at the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s An Unforgettable Evening in Beverly Hills on Thursday before a star-studded crowd including Rebel Wilson, Rachel Zoe, Julianne Hough, and Lori Loughlin.

The Hollywood star passionately shared the organization’s work on cancer research and her own experience with breast cancer before sharing more personal details about her own finances. Stone underwent breast reconstruction surgery in 2001, and in her speech, she emphasized on the need for women to prioritize their health and urged them to get a mammogram.

Stone then got emotional when she shared how the banking crisis impacted her. She said that writing a check now requires courage, and she just lost half of her money to this “banking thing.” However, she did not elaborate on how she was specifically affected by it, but her statement came amid the uncertainty of the financial markets when several banks, including Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature Bank collapsed in the past two weeks.

Stone ended her speech by encouraging women to stand up and say what they are worth and emphasized that courage is doing so.
