10 Famous People Who Lost All Their Money And Went Completely Broke
:Money comes, money goes”…so does the saying go. That’s the life of the celebrities we’re reviewing today. One moment, they’re driving the hottest Ferraris and Bugattis and splashing handsomely on mansion in the Hollywood Hills, and the next, they’re working minimum wage at a McDonalds to make ends meet.
Okay, maybe not all of them.
The point is, you can learn a lot from some of the celebrities = who went from riches to rags. Yep, they learnt that money doesn’t grow on trees the hard way.
Of course, since celebrities aren’t like regular people, their version of being “broke” is still way different from your average person struggling to get by on minimum wage.
However, these celebrities are far from the stimulus checks they use to get every month while living the high life. With that being said, let’s take a look at 10 famous people who lost all their money and went completely broke!
10. Lindsay Lohan
Once upon a time, Lindsay Lohan seemed primed to make the successful leap from child actor to adult superstar.
Her roles in movies such as Freaky Friday and Mean Girls were back-to-back hits, and her debut album sold over one million units in the US.
However, like most former child stars, Lindsay’s idea of acting more mature in order to get edgier parts meant partying more, which led to several brush-ins with the law.
Diminishing box-office returns, increasingly bad reviews and a couple of trips to rehab later, Lohan, who was once considered to be Hollywood’s new “it” girl, was struggling to land roles.
Although Lohan has recently cleaned up her act somewhat, her star isn’t as bright as it once was.
Her current net worth is estimated to be around only $500,000 and several of her comeback roles, including her turn as Elizabeth Taylor, have garnered harsh reviews from critics.
9. Drake Bell
Is it really surprising that a lot of former child actors are on this list? Yet another casualty of early fame and burnout is former Nickelodeon actor Drake Bell, who at one point in his career had his own show and burgeoning music career.
So where did it all go wrong?
After his show, Drake and Josh, ended, Bell began to focus more on his music. Let’s just say that while Bell was a fan of The Beatles and The Beach Boys, he would never attain their level of success.
By 2014, a house that he had purchased in 2007 with his Nickelodeon earnings was forced into foreclosure because he couldn’t keep up with the payments.
Between 2009 and 2015, Bell also had two DUI arrests and experienced several health scares, including an injury to his wrist that could’ve potentially ended his guitar-playing days.
While Bell has fully recovered from his injury and is in better spirits these days, we have little doubt that he’s probably very eager for that Drake and Josh reunion movie.
8. Chris Tucker
Chris Tucker played the quintessential funnyman sidekick in a slew of hit movies including Friday, The Fifth Element and the Rush Hour trilogy.
But while he may have been great with telling jokes and getting laughs, Tucker was not so great at accounting and finances.
Like most celebrities, Tucker let his management team handle his money, which we have a feeling he deeply regrets.
Although he may have successfully dodged bullets in the movies, not even Tucker could dodge the IRS, which came calling in 2014 and claimed that he owed over $14 million in back taxes over a seven-year period.
Fortunately, Tucker was able to reach a settlement deal and stay out of jail, unlike some other celebs on this list, and he even joked about his money troubles in his stand-up special on Netflix.
But the next time someone gives you financial advice, Mr. Tucker, we suggest that you fully understand the words coming out of their mouth.
7. Brendan Fraser
Before there was Chris Pratt, if producers needed an action movie star who could convincingly pull off death-defying stunts and crack a joke, they would cast Brendan Fraser. During his heyday, Fraser’s movies, especially the first two Mummy movies, raked in millions at the box office.
He also wasn’t too shabby in dramatic roles, receiving praise for his appearances in Gods and Monsters and The Quiet American.
