11. Wesley Snipes: Taxes

We all hate paying taxes. We know they exist for a reason, but that doesn’t make it any easier or more pleasant. The action star of the Blade series among others, was found guilty of tax evasion back in 2010 and served just over two years in prison. Wesley Snipes was also forced to pay roughly $17 million in penalties and back taxes. His two associates were sentenced to more time in prison, as they were found guilty of more serious crimes; conspiracy and filing false claims.
