Poor and Forgotten: Lost Celebs and Where Are They Today

Living a lavish lifestyle is one of the perks of being a celebrity. However, fame and fortune do not last forever. Their lives might be perfect one day, but the next day they could find themselves with severe financial problems. It doesn’t matter whether the celebrities wasted their money or took bad financial advice from their advisor. It is now impossible for them to afford to live as they once did.

Nicole Eggert

Baywatch is one of those iconic shows that everybody around the world knows the name of. Actress Nicole Eggert starred in the show as one of the lifeguards but since then has not done much acting.

She tried to keep living in Hollywood, but after her acting work dried up, she had to sell her home for $1.14 million. That didn’t tide her over, and she ended up filing for bankruptcy not once but twice.

McKayla Maroney Is A Musician

McKayla Maroney gained international fame as a part of the “Fierce Five” at the 2012 Summer Olympics. The team won gold overall. She won silver on vault and was not at all happy. Photos of her “not impressed” face quickly went viral on the internet.

She has since left the gym due to an injury and turned her focus to music. In the summer of 2016, she released a single called “Ghost.” She told Us, “I like to say my genre is vulnerable pop because it’s all melody and lyrically driven and heart-driven.”

Johnny Depp

As one of Hollywood’s a-list stars, you would think that Johnny Depp would be financially secure. In fact, the star loves to buy expensive things like yachts and cars. He also allowed his money to be managed externally by his business managers, who he claimed mismanaged his funds.

Now, the star owes his managers about $40 million, and having just gone through a divorce, he is even more in debt.

Kelly Rutherford

Unlike some of the stars on this list, Kelly Rutherford ended up losing her money to her divorce and custody battle.

She had saved quite a bit of money from her time on Gossip Girl and Melrose Place but ultimately had to use all of it to win her $1.5 million legal case against her now ex-partner, David Giersch. While she was able to get custody of her children, she had to file for bankruptcy in the process.
