1. Dave Chappelle
In 2002, Dave Chappelle was at the height of his popularity when Comedy Central offered him $50 million for a 3rd season of his comedy sketch program, The Dave Chappelle Show. Instead of accepting the dream offer, the funny man decided to move to Africa on a whim. Dave explained in an interview with James Lipton that his reason for packing up and moving to Africa at the worst possible timing in his career was due in large part to the overwhelming grief of losing his father at the time of the offer, among other disagreements that the comedian had with executives. The 31 year old at the time received a ton of flack from the public for the unthinkable decision to turn down $50 million and was rumored to have literally lost his mind back then, to which Dave asserts, “To say someone is crazy is dismissive, people are not crazy, they are strong people, maybe their environment is a little sick.” Today, Dave is only worth $10 million.
