5. Aaron Carter
Aaron Carter easily broke into the music industry because he was the younger brother of one of the Backstreet Boys. He actually opened for them in Berlin in 1997, with a cover of The Jets’ Crush on You. Nepotism allowed him to put his foot in the door but it was his talent that propelled him to stardom. With the release of his Crush on You single, girls were swooning left and right. His first album earned a gold status in Spain, Denmark, Norway, Germany and Canada. During this time, he also had a few more hits like Crazy Little Party Girl and I Want Candy. In 2013, Aaron Carter filed for bankruptcy to protect him from $3.5 million in debt. In the petition, it is stated that he owes the IRS $1.3 million which was from his earnings in the height of his fame. As of 2014, he has reportedly already paid off all his debt.
