   MC Hammer   
      
   The flamboyant musician earned $33 million in the early 1990s,   
   but quickly blew all his cash, aided in part by his purchase of   
   two private helicopters.   
      
   Michael Jackson   
      
   Though he never filed bankruptcy, The King of Pop had a well-   
   documented struggle with debt. Sources say Jackson purchased ten   
   robot dogs with artificial intelligence on a whim.   
      
   Kim Basinger   
      
   The actress allegedly paid $20 million to buy a small town in   
   Georgia in 1989. Basinger’s grand ambitions were thwarted when   
   she filed for bankruptcy four years later.   
      
   Mike Tyson   
      
   Tyson had to file for bankruptcy despite earning more than $300   
   million as a professional boxer.   
      
   Chris Tucker   
      
   According to court documents filed at Lake County, the IRS has a   
   lien of $11.5 million so that they can collect federal income   
   taxes.   
      
   Tia Carrere   
      
   Carrere got greedy. In an attempt to get out of her “General   
   Hospital” contract and join the cast of “The A-Team,” Carrere   
   filed a lawsuit for bankruptcy stating that “General Hospital”   
   was no longer providing her with enough work to sustain her   
   lifestyle.   
      
   Toni Braxton   
      
   In 1998, Braxton filed for bankruptcy despite having a huge hit   
   album with “Secrets.” She was reported to be in debt for $3.9   
   million. Her personal possessions were sold including awards she   
   had received. It seemed things were getting better, but Braxton   
   filed for Chapter 7 again in 2010 due to her problems with   
   Lupus, a divorce and a child with autism. She was believed to   
   have debts from $10 million up to a possible $50 million.   
      
   Wesley Snipes   
      
   He was indicted in 2006 for tax evasion. He apparently tried to   
   cheat the government out of almost $12 million and for not   
   filing any tax returns for six years.  In the court case that   
   followed, the claims were affirmed and Snipes surrendered for a   
   jail stint in 2010.   
      
   Weeell doggies!   
      
   Look at all those niggers in the list.
