Fame and fortune come together most of the time. However, there are always exceptions to the rule. While most of us would think that celebrities are rich, there are some cases that confirm the opposite. At one moment you are at the top thinking that roses will bloom your whole life, and the other you go broke. Celebrities who didn’t know how to handle their finances have only their fame left, while money is something which they own to the IRS or they really have very little of.
