Celebrities Who Went From Riches To Rags

Isaac Hayes

Isaac Hayes, in 1976, filed for bankruptcy. One of the most important artists of the '70s, Hayes said that he owed over $6 million in taxes, but he was unable to repay the debt. He blamed his record label for poorly handling his finances. He lost a load of cash through personal lending schemes. Hayes made more music, opened a couple of restaurants, and penned a recipe book before he passed in 2008.
