Madonna's Homeless Brother: She doesn't care if I'm dead or alive

After Michael Jackson, Madonna is probably the ultimate, iconic pop figure. Her personal fortune has just surpassed the $1 billion mark. She was named the top earner in pop music in 2012. Her older brother, however, doesn't think much of her.

Anthony Ciccone, 56, link that Madonna "doesn't give a sh** if I'm dead or alive. She lives in her own world. I never loved her in the first place, she never loved me. We never loved each other."

The troubled man is a homeless alcoholic who lives on the snow-covered streets of Traverse City, Michigan. According to Daily Mail, he was recently jailed for a month due to a bout of public intoxication during which he cursed at children in front of a church. After being laid off three years ago, Madonna insisted on paying for Anthony's rehab, though he refused treatment.

Sources close to the family say Madonna and her father, who lives not far from Traverse City, are devastated by his alcoholism and refusal to accept help. A neighbor of the family claims Madonna has repeatedly reached out and tried to help, all to no avail.
