Something every single person on this list failed to do. As we all know, hindsight is 20/20. Which is just a better way of saying: you don’t know you’re about to regret something, until you’re looking back on it. All 10 of the listees have spent years kicking themselves over a critical err in judgment, and will likely spend the rest of their lives doing so if a better opportunity doesn’t come along to make up for the fatal decision. What’s worse is they’ve had to watch someone else with a better judgment call enjoy the benefits of what they foolishly turned down. Honorable mentions go to Will Smith who turned down the role of Neo in the now iconic film The Matrix, John Travoltawho turned down the role of Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump, and Hugh Jackman who turned down a Bond role in Casino Royale. Fortunately for all three actors, they’ve more than managed to make up for the losses, having each accumulated nine figure net worths. Below are 10 of the most regrettable decisions ever made by celebs that forced them to watch millions of dollars slip through their fingers.
10. Hulk Hogan
Former WWE champ Hulk Hogan, thought the idea of a wrestler endorsing a grill was just ridiculous. Which is exactly why he turned it down when he was presented with the opportunity by his agent in 2000. The wrestler instead opted to endorse a meatball maker that was called “Hulkamania Meatball Maker”. Former boxer George Foreman didn’t think the idea of endorsing a grill was so bad, so he accepted it after much persuasion from his wife. In just a short pace of time, the grill turned out to be a wild success and these days, most people actually recognize George as the “Foreman Grill guy,” more so than for his former boxing profession. Today, George Foreman is worth a staggering $250 million thanks to accumulated royalties from the product endorsement, in stark contrast to Hulk Hogan’s $8 million net worth. Ouch is an understatement.
