10 celebrities that are shockingly poorer than you (With Pictures)

Celebrities that are shockingly poorer than you - Celebrities are supposed to be rich. If they aren’t rich, they can’t afford all the items that make them so intriguingly remote: youth everlasting and designer clothes from this year’s collection. So what happens to their celebrity when they lose all their money? For some, it dwindles altogether. A few of the celebrities on the following list had to get day jobs just to make ends meet.

(With Pictures) Wizkid shades Linda Ikeji, retweets article about her "Poverty Mentality" (Snapshot) They certainly couldn’t afford this year’s designer collection (but you’ll find them rifling through the half-off bin at your local H&M). These celebrities lost their money for a variety of reasons. Oftentimes, it was related to court battles, which sucked them totally dry. For a few others, it was because they developed certain bad habits and they couldn’t curb their impulse control until poverty did it for them, and even then… The rest of them just could not longer get work and cruised on royalties until TBS or some other D-list channel cancelled re-runs and all of sudden their monthy check hit menopause. What we all know for sure is this: if you asked your average person how much money one of these celebrities has, he or she would grossly overestimate it. That’s the one thing we tried to preserve in our research. These are celebrities who most people would say has millions, but for who that is sometimes sorely inaccurate. Ready? Let’s hop right in, to the 10 celebrities POORER than you’d think. 10. Mike Tyson – $1 million At the height of his wrestling career, Mike Tyson was worth over $300 million. That’s a lot of money, especially for someone who has a tattoo all over his face. It seemed too good to be true. And so it was, apparently. Two hundred and ninety-nine of his three-hundred million dollars have disappeared from financial irresponsibility and controversy. We wager that the giant tattoo across his face must have cost him a pretty penny, as must have the tiger he has for a pet. Perhaps it would be a good idea for Mike Tyson to make like George Foreman and brand an ultra-conveniant appliance with his name, thus regaining fame, fortune, and relevance. Navigate using arrows below 9. Pamela Anderson – $5 million You’d think that with all the posing for Playboy, appearing at Comedy Central roasts, running in a swimsuit in Baywatch , and D ancing With The Stars , Pamela Anderson would be worth many millions of dollars, wouldn’t you? Well if you would, you’d be wrong too. Good ole Pam is only worth about $5 million. She has been put on the list of California’s Top 500 Delinquent Taxpayers several times, not such a great financial position to be in. Although right before he died, Sam Simon gave her a ring worth almost $800,000, essentially increasing her fortune by 1/6. How thoughtful! 8. Kanye West – TBD Kanye West‘s recognized net worth is $145 million. Kinda seems like he’s rolling in the money. Well that’s up until now. Just recently, Kanye West declared himself to be $53 million dollars in debt. Even though that represents only a third of his total fortune, who knows what’s causing this spiraling cycle of owing money. He’s apparently in such dire straits that he pleadMark Zuckerberg, ON HIS BIRTHDAY, to help him out because he’s his “favourite artist” (Kanye is Zuckerberg’s) according to his own personal, deluded conjecture. Although this is very likely a stunt, it’s always fun not to take things with a grain of salt. Either way, we’re relatively sure he’ll recoup. 7. Allen Iverson – $1 million Allen Iverson is another athlete whose large living caught up with him. Are you ready for the staggering amount of money he received during his 15 season career? $154 MILLION. That is so much money! How did he lose this much money? In retirement, he kept living like he was the hottest athlete in professional sports. Sources report that he spent $10,000 a month for clothes, household items, and entertainment (for a total of $30,000/ month). That isn’t even counting all the money he owed on various mortgages, etc. In 2030, a $30 million trust fund will open to him, so things aren’t that bad. But for the next fourteen years, Iverson will have to live sparingly, not like the king he’s used to being. 6. 50 Cent – Penniless “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” was apparently a complete hoax (unless you’re like Donald Trump, and going bankrupt is just a step along to path to multiple billions) — last year, Curtis Jackson III, also known as 50 Cent, filed for bankruptcy. But get why! Cent had some beef with fellow rapper Rick Ross. So Fiddy got his hands on a video of Lavonia Leviston having intercourse with her boyfriend. He then commented on the video and posted it online, to embarrass her. How does this relate to Rick Ross? For one, she’s the mother of his child. This was obviously illegal, and 50 Cent was fined some $6 million in the invasion of privacy lawsuit. Although his personal wealth is valued at $10 and $50 million, his debts are valued at the same range. In other words: the P.I.M.P is penniless. 5. Dennis Rodman – $-1 million Aside from a very brief stint as Madonna‘s boyfriend, Dennis Rodman is known for being a professional NBA player (at 54, he’s long retired). He was quite successful at it, earning $29 million in contract salary alone, notwithstanding the extra money he made from endorsements and sponsorships. So when, in 2012, he went to court to face charges that he owed his ex-wife $800,000 in child support, it should’ve been a breeze to pay it off, right? Wrong. His lawyers claimed that the former ball player was completely broke due to living lavish and couldn’t afford a dime of the payments he had to make. So much for girls dating NBA players for their money! 4. Chris Tucker – $-11.5 million Chris Tucker has been in some of the biggest movies you can think of: Rush Hour , Silver Linings Playbook , Friday (lol). And, for that reason, he was once the highest paid actor in Hollywood. He famously held out on returning to Rush Hour 3 until the producers agreed to give him $25 million for his performance. So what happened to all his money? Well, for one, in 2014, he was hit with a $14,500,000 bill for backtaxes from the IRS. You might be thinking: “Do another Rush Hour movie! Pay it all off!” Go check his imdb page, if so. There’s a Rush Hour movie in the works. If you’re thinking that that’s redundant, there’s also a second My Big Fat Greek Wedding coming out this year. 3. Nicolas Cage – $18 million $18 million might seem like a lot of dough to the average onlooker. “What I would give to have a fraction of that wealth in my bank account”, he or she might think. But when you contextualize this within the rest of Nicolas Cage‘s career, it stops seeming like as much. Believe it or not, this meme-ified, long-toothed oddball used to be one of Hollywood’s hottest commodities. Between 1996 and 2011, he earned $150 million just for acting alone . But living lavish caught up with him (sources say that he bought a fossilized dinosaur head just ’cause). He also owned an island. Trouble with the IRS forced him to sell off a lot of what he owned, ensuring his net worth dropped like a stone. 2. Jon Gosselin – $100,000

Jon Gosselin quit his job at an IT company to become a full time reality star. He made $22,500/ episode during the show’s run of 108 episodes. That’s quite a bit of money, coming out to more or less $2.5 million. The show ended, as did his married to Kate Gosselin, and his finances began to slip. He ended up with a total net worth of $100,000, which is decent, but not close to what merely existing in front of cameras used to make him. He now works as a disc jockey in Pennsylvania, apprenticing under DJ Koolie and literally not going broke (as opposed to actually making money). Eh, he always kind of seemed like a scumbag. Maybe this is for the best. 1. Kate Gosselin – $200,000 Kate Gosselin is obviously in a better financial situation than her ex-husband, whose career has positively tanked since the cancellation of her show. She’s done okay: she appeared on Dancing with the Stars and Celebrity Apprentice , as well as the New York Times bestseller list for a couple of her books. But she’s still not making that much money anymore; not exorbitantly more than your average person would make. Her net worth was set to skyrocket as she dated millionaire Jeff Prescott, probably angling towards marriage. But last September he dumped her for a woman many years her junior (and presumably one that did not have a literal gaggle of children), so she’ll languish in mediocrity for the next little while.
