In Hollywood, fame and fortune can be fleeting, as demonstrated by a list of 18 actors currently facing financial struggles. Topping this unfortunate ranking is Spencer and Heidi Pratt, known from “The Hills.” Once worth an estimated $10 million, their combined net worth has plummeted to around $300,000, largely due to extravagant spending on luxury items and failed ventures.

Aaron Carter, a former teen star and brother of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter, is another notable figure on this list. Having amassed a fortune of $200 million by age 18, Carter now faces financial ruin with only $400,000 left, largely due to mismanagement by family and personal struggles.

Dennis Rodman, the NBA legend turned actor, is also experiencing financial woes. Despite earning millions throughout his basketball career, Rodman’s fortune has dwindled to $400,000 after a series of legal issues and theft by his business manager.

Teresa Giudice, famed for “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” has been embroiled in legal troubles that have reduced her net worth to approximately $500,000. Similarly, actress Lindsay Lohan, once a household name, has suffered from personal and legal issues, leaving her with a net worth of around $500,000.

Stephen Baldwin, brother of Alec Baldwin, has faced severe financial setbacks, including bankruptcy, and is worth roughly $500,000. In a similar vein, Gary Busey, known for his work in “The Buddy Holly Story,” declared bankruptcy in 2012, with debts exceeding $1 million.

Other actors on the list include Terry Polo, Kelly Rutherford, and Randy Quaid, each grappling with financial strain due to poor decisions and personal challenges. Mel B of the Spice Girls fame rounds out this group, reportedly left with $6 million after lavish spending and costly divorces.

This stark reality highlights the precarious nature of wealth in the entertainment industry, where even once-celebrated stars can find themselves struggling to make ends meet.
