Celebrities Who Got Rich and Then Lost It All

Larry King

Believe it or not, Larry King went bankrupt in the '70s. King was charged with grand larceny after he was accused of stealing $5,000 from his business partner. The charges eventually were dropped, but King was unable to recover, and he filed bankruptcy in 1978. During the same year, King was offered his greatest job yet on a national talk show that eventually became "Larry King Live."
