8) Lil' Kim
Rap Queen Bee Lil' Kim found herself in a financial jam despite chart-topping albums and celebrity status in the early 2000s.
In 2018 she filed for bankruptcy, owing $4 million in taxes, mortgage bills, and legal fees. The financial issues are blamed on her inability to account for excessive, wasteful expenditures and bad money management.
Kim has now recovered, focusing on new music projects, keeping a presence in popular culture, and proving her potential to reinvent herself, even after such severe financial devastation.
