Celebrities Who Went From Riches To Rags

Larry King

Believe it or not, Larry King lost it all in the '70s. The talk show host was charged with grand larceny and was also accused of stealing $5,000 from his business partner. King was unable to recover, even after the charges eventually were dropped. He filed for bankruptcy in 1978. A national talk show offered him a leading spot that same year, which eventually became "Larry King Live."
