the
high life they're also prone to
money
troubles just like you and I though

much more aggressive degree here

some of the poorest celebrities and

how they got to that point

or
early 2000s knew the name Lindsay
Lohan
from her breakout hit with The
Parent
Trap to young adult fame with Mean
Girls
Lohan was on top of the world and
worth
an estimated thirty million dollars
however just a few years after
amassing
that fame her spending habits and
wild
lifestyle began to get the best of
her
she began partying and spending
money to
such an extent that she dropped
from 30
million to just one hundred
thousand in
only four years since then Lohan
has
been working to re-establish her
reputation going to rehab and
taking
more serious work as of this date
it is
rumoured that her net worth is
around
six hundred thousand dollars most
famous
for his role alongside Jackie Chan
in
the rush hour movies Chris Tucker
lived
the high life for years up until
the IRS
went after him for his refusal to
pay
back taxes for the years of 2001
all the
way up to 2006 his next big
paycheck in
rush hour 3 was squandered in fees
to
the government and soon his net
worth of
multi millions had dwindled down to
the
extent that he owed nearly 12
million
back his career has taken off again
recently as he's jump-started a new
stand-up show and is getting back
into
making movies if not at a slower
rate
you'll eventually pay off his debts
and
then maybe he can sleep in some
profits
until then however he'll just have
to
make do with his notoriety and mass
fame
