2) Ronald Isley

Despite his success in the music industry, Ronald Isley, the lead vocalist of The Isley Brothers, faced significant financial difficulties.

In 1997, Ronald Isley filed for bankruptcy due to poor financial management and tax problems amounting to millions of dollars owed to the IRS. He blamed his financial situation on spending too freely, consisting of many large homes and a luxury car collection.

However, he made a comeback in the 2000s with a renewed focus on music. Though still admired in R&B, his bankruptcy serves as a reminder to live within one's means.
