Wayne Newton has been one of the most well-known entertainers to emerge from Las Vegas, Nevada, for decades. In his prime, he was a hot commodity, with Billboard Top 100 hits like “Daddy, Don’t You Walk Too Far” and “Years.” Perhaps his most famous hit is “Danke Schoen,” which was featured prominently in the classic 1980s film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Many of the top-name entertainers of the 1970s, including Lucille Ball, George Burns, Bobby Darin, Jack Benny, and Danny Thomas, backed Wayne Newton throughout his career.

Wayne Newton’s personal life hasn’t been ideal, and his assets have been a complete disaster, in addition to his ever-expanding waistline. He was investigated for most of the 2000s for various forms of financial mismanagement, and it all came to a head in 2012 when he filed for bankruptcy. From Wayne’s perspective, the worst is over, and he’s back in his old house, having reached an agreement with his creditors. However, things aren’t all doom and gloom. Mr. Entertainment is passionate about raising funds for diabetes research and treatment. That’s incredible!
