As I delve into Hammer’s heartfelt confession, it’s impossible not to be moved by his journey. Here is a man who has faced adversity head-on, from allegations that left him feeling “not good” about himself, to financial struggles that have led him to downsize his vehicle. Yet, he finds solace in the lessons learned and the newfound gratitude for even the toughest of times.


On Tuesday, Armie Hammer shared with his followers that he’s putting up his truck for sale due to financial reasons, as he can no longer cover the cost of fuel – however, some spectators have raised questions about the validity of these statements from the controversial actor.

On the eve of his 38th birthday, which fell on August 28, the star of “Call Me By Your Name” hopped onto his primary Instagram account to share that he had recently bought a compact hybrid car because he found it financially challenging to maintain his truck.

After allegations surfaced in 2021 accusing him of being a ‘cannibal’ and sexual misconduct, the thriving Hollywood career of Isaac Hammer abruptly ceased.

Regardless of their vast fortune estimated in millions, they have faced significant financial struggles and accusations of wrongdoing.

However, it seems that Armie, a descendant of the wealthy oil magnate Armand Hammer, found himself disinherited from the family wealth. Upon Armand’s demise, his son, Michael, received an estimated $180 million fortune.

At the time of his passing, Armand, the CEO of Occidental Petroleum, was roughly valued at $800 million.

Fans soon took to X to share their thoughts, with some not believing his financial struggles.

One social media user on X penned, ‘armie hammer of the very wealthy hammer family wants me to believe that he can’t afford gas? armie hammer the abuser wants me to care?’ 

Another typed out, ‘You come from a millionaire family,’ followed a confused GIF. 

‘How is that possible?’ one wrote. ‘You’ve made millions from this. Did you not invest? Haha.’ 

One follower typed out, ‘He should beg his rich family for forgiveness & get that inheritance money.’

In 2022, during the peak of the Hammer controversy surrounding allegations of abuse and cannibalism, a source shared with People that the celebrity was marketing timeshares in the Cayman Islands due to his financial requirements.

As his father stopped assisting me any longer and severed ties, I was left with no choice but to persevere on my own, which I did. Looking back, this was the turning point that spurred my determination to succeed. Unfortunately, Michael, who displayed such courage in facing cancer, passed away at the age of 67 in November 2022.

And last month in July, Armie made an appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast and claimed that he was ‘broke’ – but is ‘happier than ever.’

As a fervent devotee, I can’t help but attest that the path to paradise is paved by traversing through the inferno itself. It was an excruciating ordeal, I must say, recounting the harrowing tales of cannibalism and abuse that have been a subject of recent controversy.

In the month of May last year, I learned that the Los Angeles County District Attorney chose not to press charges against the disgraced actor for the alleged sexual assault case, as they deemed the evidence insufficient.

As I reflect on my current financial situation, I can’t help but acknowledge that I find myself in a unique and advantageous position compared to any other point in my life.

Reflecting on that, I find myself saying, “Indeed, it has shown me a valuable lesson: I don’t require that to be content, for I’ve never known greater happiness throughout my lifetime.”

Following his stint at a rehabilitation center to address his struggles with drug, alcohol, and sexual addictions, the celebrity disclosed that he has now achieved abstinence.

Reframing the sentence: ‘Therapy has transformed my life significantly. I felt a strong need for change. There were certain difficulties to deal with. In hindsight, without these events unfolding, the major upheaval in my life may not have taken place.’

Armie stated, “Regardless of what happened, my life would have carried on as usual. But I am aware that such a path could only end in one destination: death.”

It seems like you’ve undergone a series of significant transformations, including what I would call an ‘egodeath’, a ‘careerdeath’, and a ‘financialdeath’. These are concepts that Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell often discuss in their works. In simpler terms, you might have gone through profound changes in identity, career, and finances respectively, which are themes these thinkers often explore.

In simpler terms, for something new to emerge or be reborn, the old must first come to an end. Just as a phoenix won’t rise unless its ashes remain.

Yesterday, on the eve of my 38th birthday, I decided to share some insights about my recent journey, following the challenges in my acting career, via Instagram, using a video post.

The update came one month after he said he was ‘grateful’ for the allegations of cannibalism, sexual misconduct and an accusation of rape that imploded his career three years earlier. 

In a video filmed at a CarMax dealership, the actor – who has been absent from Hollywood following allegations against him – shared with his followers that due to financial constraints, he recently purchased a compact hybrid vehicle instead of his previous truck.

He began the clip by explaining that he has been back in Los Angeles for ‘a couple of weeks now,’ and plans to sell his truck so he can start his 38th year with ‘a new car, in a new apartment, in a new life.’

“He mentioned that the vehicle he’s been driving for seven years now is his truck,” he shared, explaining it was a self-purchased present he got himself back in 2017 for Christmas.

He continued: ‘I have loved this truck intensely and taken it camping and across the country multiple times and on long road trips and I’ve taken it on one last road trip… to CarMax.’

He clarified that his video was ‘not an ad’ and he was only filming an update ‘because I’m selling my truck.’

After returning to L.A., I’ve spent around $400 to $500 on gas, and I have to say, I find myself struggling with that expense. In simpler terms, I can no longer afford the gas.

Speaking of that marvelous vehicle, it was the one that brought my precious little ones back home from the hospital, can you believe it? Phenomenal journeys, yet I must admit, it’s all worth it.

He explained that he already purchased a new, ‘tiny’ car.

I’ve just acquired a compact, fuel-efficient hybrid vehicle. With its small size, I’ll barely need a gallon of gas each month, marking the start of an eco-friendly journey for me. Cheers to fresh starts!

He mentioned that the next day was his birthday, and he desired a fresh beginning. ‘Tomorrow is my birthday, so on August 28, I’ll kick off my birthday with a new car, a new apartment, and a new life in Los Angeles.’

Later, he spoke to his car, expressing gratitude: “Thank you so much. You’ve taken me a long distance, and I truly appreciate everything. I wish the next person will treat you just as well.”

He found himself thinking, ‘I reassure myself that parking will become less of a hassle and gas prices will drop.’

Approximately a couple of months prior, in June, he made an appearance on the Painful Lessons podcast and discussed being falsely accused of rape in an instance where no charges were filed against him.

He said he was ‘grateful’ for the experience of being cancelled.

Previously maintaining innocence regarding past allegations, this individual expressed: “Regardless of what others claimed, regardless of the events that transpired, I find myself at a point in my life where I am genuinely thankful for each and every part of it.”

Hammer went on to say, “Now, I truly appreciate my situation as it is, since earlier in my life, I wasn’t content. I always felt unsatisfied and lacked enough.”

He shared that he had never been in a situation before where he truly accepted himself, but after the scandal, he acquired priceless insights and transformed his viewpoint.

I can step back and view it with a bit of detachment, chuckling to myself and thinking, “That’s quite amusing.” People have labeled me as a cannibal, and many seemed to believe the accusation. They act as if to say, “Oh yes, that man consumed people.” It’s almost like they’re… What? Like, what are you even referring to?

Armie Hammer had been wedded to Elizabeth Chambers since 2010, however, they parted ways in 2020 and their divorce was completed in 2023. Their family consists of two kids: Harper, who is nine years old, and Ford, aged seven.
