Most of us are convinced that all celebrities are millionaires and have fantastic lives, but sometimes that couldn’t be further from the truth, as some don’t even have enough money to support their expensive lives.
In this list we will introduce you to the celebrities who are super famous but whose fame doesn’t match their bank accounts, because, according to Buzzfeed, some of them did bad deals or simply haven’t had good job opportunities anymore.
1.Sydney Sweeney
They don’t pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you don’t get residual royalties anymore. Established stars still get paid, but I have to pay 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, and 3 percent or so to my manager.
2. Will Smith
Being famous and broke is a combination of s**t, because you’re still famous and people recognize you, but they recognize you when you’re sitting next to them on the bus.
3. Christy Carlson Romano
The worst thing about child actors is that they don’t tell you that the work rate is going to slow down. In fact, my mother, some members of my team and even my financial manager told me the opposite: ‘Oh, don’t worry, the residual income will come and you will continue to make money.’
4.Geoffrey Owens
No one should feel sorry for me. I’ve had a great life, a great career.
5.Michelle Williams
In late 2017, news broke that I had been paid less than $1,000, compared to the $1.5 million my male counterpart had received for the exact same amount of work.
6. Mayim Bialik
I had a toddler and a newborn and had been a grad student and my insurance was about to expire. I figured if I got a couple odd jobs here or there, I might get insurance again.
7. Ke Huy Quan
I was very nervous. He was about to run out of health insurance. So I called my agent and said, ‘Can you get me something? It doesn’t matter, I just need a job to meet the minimum requirement and be eligible for health insurance the following year.’
8. Lena Headey
Currently, I have less than five dollars in my bank account and have been using credit cards to pay living expenses for myself and my son Wylie.
9.Jacob Elordi
I think I had, I don’t know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account and ‘Euphoria’ was my last audition before I thought about going back home to earn some money and recover.
10. Devon Werkheiser
Over the years, auxiliary jobs began to pay less in the industry, and at the same time, I began to work less and less. The only thing I knew how to do was find a paid job by the hour and start to get out of my situation.
11.Kim Basinger
I would say that from Kim’s point of view, this move is a shame. The entire bankruptcy procedure is such an invasive process. You open yourself up to all possible financial investigations. It is an admission of defeat.
