Many may assume that being a massive movie star or popular musician is synonymous with being extremely well off, but in reality, some of Hollywood’s biggest names have faced financial ruin over the years.<\/p>\n

That’s right, famous faces like\u00a0Al Pacino<\/a>, Kevin Spacey<\/a>, Tori Spelling<\/a>, Michael Jackson<\/a>, Sharon Stone<\/a>, Nicolas Cage<\/a>, Johnny Depp<\/a>,\u00a0Mike Tyson<\/a>, Aaron Carter<\/a>, Drake Bell<\/a>, and\u00a0Dionne Warwick<\/a> have all confessed to running out of money despite having wildly successful careers.<\/p>\n

Some fell on hard times after blowing through their fortunes due to lavish and over-the-top purchases.<\/p>\n

Others became low on funds because they got shunned from Hollywood or struggled to land roles after becoming embroiled in scandal.<\/p>\n

A few Hollywood stars have even wracked up millions of dollars in debt, resulting in them having to file for bankruptcy and give up their sprawling mansions.<\/p>\n

FEMAIL has rounded up all of the A-listers who ended up losing (and sometimes regaining) their fortunes.<\/p>\n

Al Pacino<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\"Al <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Al Pacino (seen in 2022) is one of the most successful actors on the globe thanks to his roles in The Godfather, Scarface, and The Irishman, amongst others<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Al is one of the most successful actors on the globe thanks to his roles in The Godfather, Scarface, and The Irishman, amongst others.<\/p>\n

But in his memoir\u00a0Sonny Boy, he revealed that despite starring in a slew of popular and critically acclaimed films, he went broke on multiple occasions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"But <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But he revealed that despite starring in a slew of popular and critically acclaimed films, he went broke on multiple occasions. He’s seen in The Godfather<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The actor’s money woes ironically began after he acted in arguably his most beloved film, Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 classic The Godfather.<\/p>\n

Despite playing the lead in the flick, Al\u00a0reportedly only earned about $35,000 for his performance, which would be around $265,000 in today’s money \u2014 well below a lead actor’s expected payday for a massively successful Oscar winner made by a major studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘When I finished making The Godfather, I was broke, not that I had ever had any money, but now I owed money,’ he wrote in his tome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

‘My manager and agents got their cuts of my salary while I had to live on support from Jill Clayburgh.’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the success of The Godfather, Al was able to land a slew of roles back-to-back after that, which helped his financial situation, but he found himself on hard times again as his career slowed in the mid ’80s.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I had about 90 grand in the bank and that was it,’ he recalled of that time. ‘I had a lifestyle to boot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I had my home in the country, which I didn’t want to give up. I was spending and not earning. I was putting out but I wasn’t bringing in.’<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"He <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He found himself on hard times as his career slowed in the mid-’80s, as he wrote in his memoir,\u00a0‘I had about 90 grand in the bank and that was it.’ He’s seen in 1983’s Scarface<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\"Then, <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Then, in 2011, the actor (seen in 2011) claimed he lost all his money at the hands of a corrupt accountant which lead to him agreeing to star in movies that weren’t ‘very good’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Al’s career was again revitalized throughout the ’90s when he had a string of alternating box office hits and critically acclaimed films.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But in 2011, the actor claimed he lost all his money at the hands of a corrupt accountant.<\/p>\n

Al wrote in his memoir that the accountant, who he did not name, ultimately served seven years in prison for running a Ponzi scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I had $50 million, and then I had nothing,’ he said of the incident. ‘I had property but I didn’t have any money.<\/p>\n

‘I wasn’t a young buck, and I was not going to be making the kind of money from acting in films that I had made before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The big paydays that I was used to just weren’t coming around anymore. The pendulum had swung, and I found it harder to find parts for myself.’<\/p>\n

Al said he sold one of his multiple houses, began doing international commercials, and going on tour with a seminar to raise more funds.<\/p>\n

He also said he agreed to star in movies that weren’t ‘very good.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘In this business, when you make $10 million dollars for a film, it’s not $10 million,’ shared the star.<\/p>\n

‘Because after the lawyers, and the agents, and the publicist, and the government, it’s not $10 million, it’s $4.5 million in your pocket.<\/p>\n

‘But you’re living above that because you’re high on the hog. And that’s how you lose it. It’s very strange, the way it happens. The more money you make, the less you have.’<\/p>\n

Kevin Spacey<\/h2>\n
\n

\"At <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At the peak of his career, Kevin Spacey (seen in 1996) was worth roughly $70 million with a property empire spanning the US and London. But now, he’s on the brink of bankruptcy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\"Kevin <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kevin (seen in House of Cards) was once of the most recognized faces in Hollywood until a slew of allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him in 2017<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At the peak of his career, Kevin was worth roughly $70 million\u00a0with a property empire spanning the US and London.<\/p>\n

But now, the disgraced Hollywood actor is on the brink of bankruptcy due to his million-dollar legal fees.<\/p>\n

Kevin was once of the most recognized faces in Hollywood until a slew of allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him in 2017, sparking a downfall that saw him lose much of his immense fortune.<\/a><\/p>\n

The actor was accused of abusing his fame and power to carry out nine sex attacks on four men during his tenure as artistic director of the Old Vic theater, but he was\u00a0found not guilty on all nine sexual assault charges in July 2023.<\/p>\n

Even so, he has largely been shunned from Hollywood and has struggled to land many roles since the ordeal, all while having to fork over millions on legal fees.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"He <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He broke down in tears while talking to Piers Morgan Uncensored about what his life had been like since the fall-out last year, and he said his home was being sold at auction<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He\u00a0broke down in tears while talking to Piers Morgan Uncensored about what his life had been like since the fall-out last year, and he confessed at the time that\u00a0he was ‘not quite sure where he was going to live’ as his $5.8 million home was being sold at auction.<\/p>\n

‘This week, [the house] I have been living in Baltimore, is being foreclosed on,’ he shared.<\/p>\n

‘My house is being sold at auction. I’m not quite sure where I’m going to live now, but I have been in Baltimore since we started shooting House of Cards there.<\/p>\n

‘It’s been a couple of times when I thought I was going to file [for bankruptcy], but we’ve managed to sort of dodge it, at least as of today.<\/p>\n

‘I still owe a lot of legal bills that I have not been able to pay. Many millions, yes. The house itself is many millions.’<\/p>\n

In October, the star revealed via Instagram that he was back to filming an unknown project in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Tori Spelling\u00a0<\/h2>\n
\n

\"As <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As the daughter of acclaimed film and TV producer Aaron Spelling, Tori Spelling (seen with her dad as a kid) had an extremely lavish upbringing\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"She <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She started acting at age six and was shot into stardom after she was cast in Beverly Hills, 90210 as a teen (seen), but was plagued by money problems for years<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As the daughter of\u00a0acclaimed film and TV producer Aaron Spelling, Tori had an extremely lavish upbringing.<\/p>\n

She lived in a sprawling mansion with 123 rooms – including 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms – and had 20 staff members who waited on the family hand and foot during her childhood.<\/p>\n

She\u00a0started acting at age six and was shot into stardom after she was cast in Beverly Hills, 90210 as a teen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the star has been plagued by money problems for years due to her ‘bad shopping habits’ and has faced multiple lawsuits over unpaid bills.<\/p>\n

Tori has claimed that as soon as she was cast on 90210, her parents told her she was on her own financially.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And when it came to an end in 2000, she struggled to manage her funds, and she soon racked up tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt.<\/p>\n

‘In all honesty, I grew up a certain way. I never had to worry about money\u2026 that was my reality,’ she previously said on\u00a0Good Morning America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actress explained that she refused to ask her parents for money even when she was at her lowest.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"When <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When Aaron passed away in 2006, Tori only received just $800,000 of the estimated $600 million fortune that was left behind by her late father. Tori is seen with her parents in 2002\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In 2016, she was sued by American Express for failing to pay an outstanding credit card balance of $87,594.55. She’s seen in 2017\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘In my mind, [that would make me] what everyone thought I was – taking money from my dad, the rich little girl that he paid for everything,’ she explained. ‘And I just refused to be that. [I would] rather be bankrupt.’<\/p>\n

Tori’s mom spoke about her daughter’s money problems to the New York Times in 2006, and she said Tori ‘would close a store and drop $50,000 to $60,000’ in one shopping trip, adding, ‘She just went crazy.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

She told The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>that\u00a0the $18 million that she had accrued after more than two decades in Hollywood had evaporated during the years she was unable to work due to brain damage from the stroke.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She\u00a0attributed her loss of millions<\/a> to people around her who allegedly mismanaged her money as she struggled to regain basic functions, like the ability to read.<\/p>\n

‘People took advantage of me over that [recovery] time,’ she claimed. ‘I had $18 million saved because of all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

She reiterated:\u00a0‘I had zero money.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

She went on to have a major career resurgence and her net worth is now estimated to be at $40 million.<\/p>\n

He reportedly owned 30 different motorcycles and a slew of vintage cars in 2004, and it was said that he would splash out hundreds of thousands of dollars on rare comic books.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also famously purchases two albino king cobra snakes for $276,000 in 2005 as pets; he also spent another $80,000 on a two-headed snake and $150,000 on a pet octopus.<\/p>\n

‘I was over-invested in real estate… The real estate market crashed, and I couldn’t get out in time,’ he later said of his money problems.<\/p>\n

‘I paid them all back, but it was about $6 million. I never filed for bankruptcy.’<\/p>\n

He added that he was able to bounce back from it by booking ‘crummy’ movie roles in the years that followed.<\/p>\n

‘Work was always my guardian angel. It may not have been blue chip, but it was still work,’ he continued.<\/p>\n

‘Even if the movie ultimately is crummy, they know I’m not phoning it in, that I care every time.’<\/p>\n

But by the late 2010s, it’s been said\u00a0that his bank account was $4 million overdrawn.<\/p>\n

So what happened? Well, the actor’s spending habits were put into the spotlight in 2016 when he sued his\u00a0former financial manager, Joel Mandel, and his former business management company, The Management Group, alleging they grossly mismanaged his earnings.<\/p>\n

A countersuit followed that claimed the actor’s lavish lifestyle – which allegedly cost more than $2 million a month to maintain – was what caused his financial troubles.<\/p>\n

The trouble for him first began in 2012, when he was sued by music producer John Fields, who claimed that he had worked on numerous songs on one of Drake’s albums, but wasn’t paid the right amount for his work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to TMZ<\/a>, John alleged that Drake had commissioned nine of his songs, but only gave him enough money for five, which meant he owed him $36,000.<\/p>\n

A judge ultimately ruled in John’s favor, and ordered Drake to pay him the money along with interest and attorneys’ fees.<\/p>\n

In 2014, she was excused from paying the tax debts and the judge ruled she would be allowed to keep her personal assets, which included ‘artwork, fur coats, diamond earrings, furniture,’ per The Independent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
