Celebrities Who Got Rich and Then Lost It All

Cyndi Lauper

Lauper started her career with several grand failures. Her first album with the band Blue Angel flopped massively, and her manager sued her for $80,000. Lauper was forced to file bankruptcy in 1981. She recovered after she released her hit solo album She's So Unusual, and she went on to become a Grammy-winning artist and inspiration to many.
