19) Gary Coleman

Gary Coleman, the child star of Diff'rent Strokes, filed for bankruptcy in 1999. Once earning millions as a teen heartthrob, Coleman saw his finances dwindle due to alleged financial exploitation by his parents and his own mismanagement. He sued his parents and former managers, but after prolonged legal battles, he was left with almost nothing.

Despite his bankruptcy, Coleman continued to appear in reality TV shows and minor film roles, it remains the saddest case of a child star who went bankrupt.
