Luther Elliss
For eight years, Elliss was the defensive lineman for the Detroit Lions. During that time, he went to two Pro Bowls and racked up some $11 million in career earnings. Then just a mere five years after retirement, Elliss filed for bankruptcy. He had lost almost ALL of his fortune by investing poorly, and even donating too much of his money to charity.
