15 Celebrities Who Went From Rich To Broke

As the old saying goes: nothing lasts forever. Not even fame and fortune. For some “rich and famous” celebrities, the rich part doesn’t last too long, especially if their money isn’t managed correctly. We all hear about stars that have racked up piles of debt due to ludicrous spending, divorce, and back taxes, resulting in them quickly losing it all. But these celebrities have proved that even though you’re at the peak of your financial success, you can always come crashing down.
Check the list out after the cut.

No matter how many gigs Chris Tucker lands, he’ll never be back to earning $25 million a film. He can thank six years of back taxes for that.
