24 Celebrities whose millions disappeared
Teri Polo
The actress, known for her role as Pam Focker in the Meet the Parents movies, found herself in a financial whirlwind back in 2014.
Polo filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in California, and her financial situation was a little less glamorous than you may have seen on screen. She owed $772,000 to the IRS in back taxes, some of which had accumulated since 2005.
Not only was she in hot water with the IRS, but she also had credit card debts. When it comes to her current net worth, Polo is sitting at $200,000.
She continues to work, however, with roles in the Good Trouble TV series and a guest stint on NCIS.
Young Buck
Back in 2005, the rapper-producer was kicked out of the hip-hop group, G-Unit, by 50 Cent after rising tensions between the two. After the falling out, Young Buck went on to drop his first solo album, Straight Outta Cashville, which soared straight to #1 on the Rap Albums chart.
However, in 2010, the IRS raided his home, seizing studio equipment and other valuables. In addition, he owed steep child support payments.
In 2020, 50 Cent sued Young Buck, forcing the star to declare bankruptcy. 50 Cent cited a $250,000 debt from Young Buck that dated back to a two-record agreement signed back in 2014.
In 2023, it was alleged that Young Buck was auctioning off his catalog to help pay off the debts he owes to 50 Cent. Currently, his net worth sits at just $100,000.
