10 Biggest Celebrity Bankruptcies

No. 8 Anna Nicole Smith

Anna Nicole Smith, entitled gold-digger when marrying 90-year old husband, received a fortune when he eventually died. But she didn’t have the same luck with her second husband, J. Howard Marshall. When this oil magnate died, he left Anna Nicole Smith nothing. After a sequence of law suits Smith was slapped with a judgment in a sexual harassment lawsuit by a former housekeeper. She was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1996, but continued to battle for her dead husbands’ money. In 2011, four years after her death, her claim was rejected by the Supreme Court.
