3. Sinbad
Born as David Adkins, the Michigan comedy prodigy got his breakthrough on a spin-off of the popular show, The Cosby Show. The lovable stand-up comedian reached his fame in the 90s with his own show, conveniently named The Sinbad Show.
In his prime, Sinbad bought a 10000m² beautiful home placed on top of a hill. However, in his 2013 interview with Oprah, he denied that he was living lavishly and that he used the money to help others as well as himself.
The former comedian filed for bankruptcy two times, owing $11 million at a certain point. That’s a lot of unpaid taxes, and even the splendid hilltop home he sold didn’t repay that. On the bright side, David Atkins has managed to score a gig or two and still has his lovely family. More than you can say about certain Hollywood stars.
