He said.

9. DMX Net Worth: -$10 Million
Here’s the recipe that got DMX to the top of the poorest celebrities: Start with 30 million albums sold and then add child support for 15 children and $2 million owed to various creditors like Compass Bank. Throw in a dash of Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and an alleged $0 in the bank, and then add in $2.3 million in restitution for tax evasion. The end result is three of those platinum albums being sold on eBay for a total of $3,000.
10. Mark Hamill Net Worth: $6 Million
There’s a great disturbance in the Force: Although Forbes reported that the “Star Wars” franchise is worth almost $10 billion to its owners at Disney, Hamill isn’t enjoying a huge piece of that pie. In his post-Jedi days, Hamill was a workhorse in the world of animation, famously voicing the Joker across multiple Batman TV series and video games for more than 20 years. Of course, now that Luke Skywalker is back on the silver screen, Hamill’s assets are rising.

12. Burt Reynolds Net Worth: $5 Million
In 2015, Vanity Fair summed up Burt Reynolds’s situation with the pitch-perfect headline, “Burt Reynolds Isn’t Broke, But He’s Got a Few Regrets.” Five million dollars is nothing to scoff at, but as a celebrity net worth, it does seem low for the star of films ranging from “Deliverance” to “Boogie Nights.” Speaking to Vanity Fair, Reynolds explained how he went from earning $10 million annually to his currently modest net worth: “I’ve lost more money than is possible because I just haven’t watched it … There are a couple of actors who are quite brilliant with the way they’ve handled their money. But they’re not very good actors.”
13. Tyga – $5 million
Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson, famously known as Tyga, is an American rapper, songwriter, singer, TV personality, and actor.

Are you wondering why Tyga features in this list of the poorest celebrities? Well, his net worth is $5 million.
14. Sinbad Net Worth: $4 Million

At the time, TMZ reported a roster of debt, including $8.3 million to the IRS, $374,979 to American Express, and $2.3 million to the California Franchise Tax Board. If you want to help Sinbad out, you can still buy a hardcover copy of “Sinbad’s Guide to Life” on Amazon — just don’t follow the financial advice.
15. Kelis Rodgers – $4 million
Kelis Rodgers is an American singer, songwriter, and chef. Having made a debut in the music scene at a young age, she set a record by working with Pharrell Williams and The Neptunes and producers like Calvin Harris.

Kelis has been recognised at the Grammys Awards, NME Awards, Q Awards, and Brit Awards ceremonies.
What celebrities are now broke? With more than two decades of being in the music scene, releasing bangers, and selling out her records, one would expect Kelis to have earned so much. You would even expect her to be among the richest artists. That is not the case. Her net worth is estimated at $4 million.
16. Amanda Bynes Net Worth: $4 Million
Amanda Bynes grew up in the spotlight, starring in the self-titled “The Amanda Show” on Nickelodeon before graduating to teen comedies like “Easy A” and “What a Girl Wants.” After suffering a very public mental breakdown in 2013, the child star was placed under psychiatric hold and temporary conservatorship over her medical care and finances.

17. Chris Tucker Net Worth: $3 Million
The star of “Fifth Element” and “Rush Hour,” Chris Tucker was once among the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, racking up paychecks of $25 million per picture. However, a string of financial crises — like foreclosing on his $6 million home in 2011, taking a feature film hiatus, and settling a $2.5 million tax lien in 2014 — had a serious effect on his net worth.
Still, Tucker seems happy with being selective, even if he’s not quite as rich as he used to be. As he told the Los Angeles Times in 2015, “I want to get better. I want to do something that excites me, that is different and fun.” For this small-fortuned celebrity, at least, money truly isn’t everything.
18. Mike Tyson Net Worth: $3 Million
Now retired, Mike Tyson earned in excess of $300 million throughout his career as a boxer.

20. Natasha Lyonne Net Worth: $3 Million
Natasha Lyonne began her career at the age of just six as one of the kids on “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.” Like many child actors, growing up in Hollywood wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

23. Aaron Carter Net Worth: -$2 Million
Aaron Carter has made recent headlines for reasons including his sexuality and weight loss, and his -$2 million net worth is a whole other story. Speaking to the Huffington Post in 2016, Carter said that he had made more than $200 million by the time he was 18, but financial mistakes like buying ostentatious houses and neglecting to pay taxes cost him millions.
Still, Carter isn’t exactly living life in the poor house. He told the Post, “I’m not broke. I mean, I don’t make all the money in the world right now, but I’m doing the best that I can.”
24. MC Hammer Net Worth: $1.5 Million
The 1990s truly were “Hammer time.” Riding high on a fortune of over $25 million, Hammer had a 17-car garage, a swimming pool in the shape of his famous puffy genie pants, and a staff of 200 he was paying about $6.2 million annually. So, how did Hammer’s net worth shrink to a post-bankruptcy $1.5 million? The answer lies in one word: sustainability.
25. Randy Quaid Net Worth: -$1 Million
If you’ve seen “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” “Days of Thunder” or “Independence Day,” you might have a soft spot for Randy Quaid. However, the Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee has fallen on some hard (and weird) times over the years, often on the run from law enforcement for racking up unpaid hotel tabs of $10,000 apiece. Randy and his wife Evi claim that the root of their problem lies with the “Hollywood Star Whackers,” a secret underground cult that defames or assassinates movie stars as means of embezzling their fortunes. Now that’s a story worthy of a blockbuster.
26. Kelly Rutherford Net Worth: $1 Million
Kelly Rutherford began her career in the soap opera world, bouncing between TV appearances. Best known for her roles in “Melrose Place” and “Gossip Girl,” the actress has had a number of supporting roles both on the big screen and the TV screen.

27. Lindsay Lohan – $800,000

28. Drake Bell, -$600,000
Bell was much loved on The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh, exhibiting his charming comedic skills. Unlike his far more successful co-star Josh Peck, Drake Bell is in a difficult financial situation. In 2014, he filed for bankruptcy, owing $1.6 million in mortgage repayments.
29. Coolio – $500,000
Back in the 90s, Coolio was the talk of the streets, and everyone jammed to his songs. He made slightly over $4 million from record sales and rose to be a Grammy-winning American rapper.
His debut single, Fantastic Voyage, became an instant hit in 1994, and in 1995, his popularity extended to the screens when he was featured in an episode of The Parent ‘Hood. He secured six Grammy nominations throughout his career in music and film. In 1996, he won the Best Rap Solo Performance for Gangsta’s Paradise.
With such a record, you would have such high expectations in Coolio. However, his net worth does not match the fame he enjoyed and still does. His net worth is estimated at $500,000. According to a booking site, Coolio charges as low as $7,500 for a private performance. Therefore, if you were wondering, who are the cheapest celebrities? Coolio would easily feature in the list.
30. Lindsay Lohan Net Worth: $500,000
Drugs, alcohol, and general debauchery don’t always break the bank for famous celebrities — just look at Charlie Sheen’s $20 million net worth. However, Lindsay Lohan is one star whose financials took a serious hit as a result of her partying. The “Mean Girls” actress’ bank account was seized by the IRS in 2012, bringing her net worth down to a mere $500,000.
31. Evander Holyfield Net Worth: $500,000
During his 20-year boxing career, Evander Holyfield took home an Olympic bronze medal, WBA, WBC, and IBF titles, plus the honor of World Heavyweight Champion an impressive four times.

However, thanks to some over-the-top spending and a few decades’ worth of IRS issues, foreclosures, and expensive mortgages, Holyfield lost his 54,000-square-foot Georgia mansion, his bronze medal, and many of his other possessions, leaving him with a financial value of just $500,000 — and the realization that nothing lasts forever.
32. Gary Busey Net Worth: -$500,000
Known for his rampant drug use and unfiltered behavior on reality shows like “Celebrity Big Brother,” Gary Busey has suffered his share of media mishaps. Still, the actor works regularly — he had a number of projects in various stages of production in April 2018, according to IMDB. Despite a nearly 50-year career, Busey has suffered some serious financial issues. He filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2012 and owes everyone from Wells Fargo to the UCLA Medical Center, leaving him with a net worth that’s estimated to be anywhere from -$500,000 to -$1 million.
33. Dennis Rodman Net Worth: $500,000
Nowadays, rebound king Dennis Rodman is part of the $500,000 club, but that wasn’t always the case. During the 1991-1992 season, he earned over $1 million; and at the peak of his basketball career with the Chicago Bulls, the athlete brought home almost nine times that amount, raking in nearly $27.4 million throughout his NBA career. Rodman’s riches didn’t last, however. In 2012, the athlete claimed he was too broke to pay the $800,000 he owed in child support.
34. Janice Dickinson Net Worth: $500,000
It’s not uncommon for actors and models to squander their fortunes. However, it’s a sad day when the self-proclaimed “world’s first supermodel” — a woman who has been in the business for more than 40 years — sports a net worth of just half a million. Even after years of serving as a judge on “America’s Next Top Model,” Dickinson filed for bankruptcy in 2013, claiming that she had only $19,000 in assets and $1 million in liabilities, including $300,000 owed to City National Bank and $550,000 in back taxes.

36. Tom Guiry – $100,000
Who is the poorest celebrity? For someone who has been in the entertainment scene for close to three decades, Tom Guiry’s net worth will leave you surprised. As of 2021, Tom Guiry’s net worth is $100,000.
