Celebrities Who Got Rich and Then Lost It All

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson had her finances together for the majority of her career, but when the IRS found out that she hadn't been paying her taxes, they went right after her. The government seized her $35 million worth of assets, and Anderson was forced to live in a trailer park with her two children. She has changed her life since, especially after the new Baywatch was released. 

Brendan Fraser

Brendan Fraser became an A-lister juggernaut at the beginning of his career. At his peak, he was earning roughly $12 million a year. But, after one too many action roles crushed his body, Fraser struggled to hold roles, which send him into a depressive spiral. He lost it all and is currently in a petition to lower his alimony costs from $900,000 manually to something he can manage. It is rumored that the majority of his income now goes to child support.
