Brett Butler
Another story about a man who went from riches to rags. Brett Butler, of Grace Under Fire fame, was once a well-known celebrity who was forced to live in a shelter at one point. In addition, the television actress struggled with illegal substance consumption, which resulted in the demise of her career and money accounts. It had gotten out of hand to the point where she had nowhere to go. The good news is that she has been sober for quite some time now and has been cast in a few small jobs here and there.

Fantasia Barrino
You would believe that winning American Idol will immediately propel you to stardom, but this is not the case at all. While Fantasia Barrino was crowned champion in the third season, her career did not continue after the victory. Within a few months, she had a loan in the amount of one million dollars secured against her name. In 2015, the artist was accused of owing the Internal Revenue Service more than $92,000. She still owes over $47,000, which she is currently working to pay off.
