Celebrities Who Got Rich and Then Lost It All

Joey Lawrence

Joey Lawrence had a successful career as an actor and a musician until his television show Melissa and Joey totally flopped. He and his wife had to file bankruptcy, and it was later found out that they owed $355,000 in taxes, credit card debt, and back payments. The couple was forced to sell their old clothing to attempt to make ends meet, but that never netted them enough cash to avoid being foreclosed on.
