List Of Relevant Celebrities Who Are Currently Broke. by cumpaddre(m): 11:44am On Aug 25, 2013
I’m sure that we have all have heard of
celebrities who squander their fortune on
booze, partying, poor investments, and
careless spending. Former stars like Gary
Coleman, MC Hammer, TLC, and others have
fallen victim to bankruptcy and losing it all
(although some have bounced back from
the perils of their impoverishment).
With all of the examples that demonstrate
how folks should be more careful with their
money, stuff like that doesn’t happen
anymore, right? Wrong. With that, I
decided to compile a list of the top 5
poorest celebrities that are still relevant in
social media today .


Honorable Mention Scott Storch (Net
worth: $300,000)
Scott Storch is a hip-hop super producer
who was responsible for producing several
great hits including Fat Joe’s “Lean Back”
and Chris Brown’s first smash hit “Run It.”
Storch’s first big commercial hit was when
he collaborated with Dr. Dre and helped
produce the riffs for the song “Still D.R.E.”
as well as his involvement on a number of
other popular billboard hits. Scott Storch
once had a fortune exceeding $70 million,
but after filing for bankruptcy, today his
net worth is just $300,000.. Scott Storch
squandered his fortune on cocaine and an
extremely lavish lifestyle that included
private jets, jewelry, a $20 million yacht, a
$10.5 million Miami mansion, dozens of cars
and expensive celebrity girlfriends like
Paris Hilton. In January 2008 Storch was
arrested for failing to pay child support. In
April 2009 Scott was arrested and charged
with grand theft auto after refusing to
return a leased Bentley that he hadn’t
made a payment on in seven months.
Storch’s $10.5 million Palm Island mansion
was repossessed by a bank and sold for
$6.75 million.


5. Mike Tyson (Net worth: $1 Million)
I think everyone knows about this one.
Mike Tyson is a retired American boxer who
at one point was the undisputed
heavyweight champion of the world.
During the peak of his career, Mike Tyson
earned and squandered an entire $300
million fortune. In August 2003, after years
of financial struggles, Tyson finally filed for
bankruptcy. Tyson has taken acting roles
in movies and television, most famously
playing a caricature of himself in the 2009
film The Hangover. With the few
performances he has had in TV and movies,
Tyson has been able to maintain a modest
net worth of only $1 million.


4. Wesley Snipes (Net worth: $1 Million)
Wesley Snipes is an American actor who
was born in Florida and currently has a net
worth of $1 million dollars. An actor,
producer, and martial artist, Wesley Snipes
has starred in such films as New Jack City,
White Men Can’t Jump, Waiting to Exhale,
and most famously, the “Blade” trilogy. He
also formed his own production company in
1991. In 2010, Snipes began serving a
three-year prison sentence in McKean
County, Pennsylvania for misdemeanor
failure to file U.S. federal income tax
returns and falsely claiming taxes in
amounts that exceeded $10 million. He was
released from prison in 2013. Snipes now is
only worth $1 Million despite his great
success.


3. Suge Knight (Net worth: $200,000)
Suge Knight was a producer and the CEO of
Death Row Records. Suge Knight signed
such as artists Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, and
Snoop Dogg. Death Row Records fell apart
after Mr. Knight was jailed for parole
violations in 1996. Suge Knight filed
bankruptcy due to civil litigation against
him in which Lydia Harris claimed to have
been cheated out of a 50% stake in Death
Row Records. Prior to filing, Knight had
been ordered to pay $107 million to Harris.
His civil and criminal woes has Knight’s
estimated net worth of $200 thousand.


2. Bow Wow (Net worth: $10,000)
Bow Wow is a rapper, actor, and singer who
has released seven albums, beginning with
2000s “Beware of Dog”. He has also
performed a number of leading and
supporting roles in films such as Like Mike,
Roll Bounce, and Lottery Ticket. Bow Wow
most recently appeared in filmmaker and
playwright Tyler Perry’s film Madea’s Big
Happy Family. However, in 2011, Bow Wow
revealed that he fathered a child with his
ex-girlfriend after months of denying the
rumor. During an October 2012 court case
regarding child support, Bow Wow told a
judge that he has no money. Bow wow
claimed he makes just $4000 a month as an
employee of Birdman’s Cash Money records,
leases a jeep and has an embarrassing
$1500 in his checking account. He was
eventually ordered to pay $11,500 in back
child support and $3000 a month from now
on. A year earlier, TMZ discovered that Bow
Wow owed over $90,000 to the IRS. It was
also revealed that the rapper has had both
a $200,000 Bentley and a $220,000 Ferrari
repossessed. Bow Wow still owes
$280,000 to a luxury car leasing company.


1. Lindsay Lohan (Net worth: $10,000)
Lindsay Lohan is an American actress,
model and recording artist whose fame
began with her role in Disney’s remake of
The Parent Trap, and continued with Freaky
Friday (which grossed $160 million
worldwide) and Mean Girls (which grossed
$129 million worldwide). Lohan also
became a household name after releasing
platinum and gold recording albums in 2004
and 2005, respectively. However, in spite
of her success, she is known for her
expensive lifestyle and has faced many
legal and personal problems which have
eaten up a huge percentage of her net
worth. Lohan’s personal and professional
lives have been as turbulent as ever in the
last year. Her reputation as an unreliable
party girl has cost Lindsay many
opportunities for quality mainstream work.
In December 2012, the IRS seized control of
Lindsay’s bank accounts to pay back the
$233,000 she owes in unpaid federal back
taxes. Recently, with only 10 thousand
dollars too her name, it was revealed that
Charlie Sheen wrote Lindsay a $100,000
check to help pay her debts. Unfortunately,
that amount of money still isn’t enough to
help her great debt.

BONUS: wait for it............ YOUNG BUCK!!
The ex-G.Unit rapper who was worth $20million in late 2010 and once donated $800,000 worth of toys to an orphanage in Queens,New-York is now worth $300,000 according to Celebrity Net-Worth. Com
Buck who is also the C.E.O of cashville records is currently battling debts which also led to the loss of two of his most priced automobiles, a $250,000 BMW and a $1million Ferrari GT.

This is serious, I'm really surprised at how Bow wow's networth decreased drastically to $10,000. What's the essence of Fame without money? So this is the reason he and others hardly make news. To be relevant you need money. It is pertinent to invest against rainy days no matter how rich you think you are. If money is not coming in, you'll definitely exhaust the one you have. Bunch of spendthrift superstars.
