Madonna’s brother is homeless and broke, as reported by MailOnline as well as other news outlets. The news came just as the singer is being presumed to have become a billionaire earlier with the week, with Forbes magazine issuing an extensive report and inquiry on her assets and finances saying she’s well just below the 10-figure net worth.

Anthony Cicone, 56, – Madonna’s brother was seen alone on a freezing cold bench, drinking liquor from a paper bag in the treacherous and bitter North Michigan snow. His family fears the worst; that he may soon die.

It’s a stark contrast from the glamorous lifestyle of his sister’s life, recognized worldwide as the best selling female rock artist of all time.

MailOnline reveals that Cicone’s family is extremely terrified that he could pass away any moment and devastated that they cannot save him.

Adding to Cicone’s problems is the fact that he recently spent a month in jail. He was arrested for being intoxicated in a church and swearing in front of children.

Further investigation by the news website reveals that Cicone had to spend a month locked up because he was unable to pay his fine for trespass and being drunk and disorderly. He is also currently fighting to survive what is a very harsh winter, where temperatures can drop as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. He was fired from his recent job at a family vineyard after being found sprawled on his back drinking wine straight from the vats.

Cicone claims in previous interviews that his family have “stood against him completely” and he only needs their “love and care.” His father drives out to the streets to give him leftovers.

It was almost one a half years ago that it was revealed that Cicone has been sleeping under a bridge in Traverse City, Michigan.

Despite his plight garnering attention globally, he remains to be sleeping rough under the bridge, battling to survive the harsh winter cold.

“Madonna does give a s**t if I’m dead or alive. She lives in her own world.” said Cicone to MailOnline. He continues, “I never loved her in the first place, she never loved me. We never loved each other.”

He shares that his father would probably be happy if he dies of hypothermia and then he would not have to worry about him.

'He doesn’t want to be bothered, he’s lived his life you see. He doesn’t like me. He doesn’t want me to be me, he wants me to be somebody else. He thinks the way I live is intentional. He simply doesn’t know me.'

Asked why he’s in such a dire state, Cicone claims that it’s because he has “No family back up, when the chips fell, no family back-up. I’d rather be working. What would you do under these circumstance when your family has stood against you completely?”
