Celebrities Who Went From Riches To Rags

Dustin Diamond

Dustin Diamond was in Saved by the Bell back in the 1990s. Diamond struggled to get his life on track after the show stopped. He was arrested for stabbing a guy in 2014. In prison, he managed to rack up some debt. He tried to sell signed merch to make his fortune back. He even attempted to sell his sex tape (which was fake) and wrote a collection of memoirs that followed the drug use and sex lives of the Saved by the Bell cast. His co-stars have all since denounced the claims he made in his novels.
