10 Biggest Celebrity Bankruptcies

No. 4 Jerry Lee Lewis

Lewis has had several ups and downs along his life. He was kicked out of the Bible College for “playing the piano his own way,” but became part of the Sun Records, owned by Sam Phillips. Releasing two sensational singles “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Great Balls of Fire,” and becoming a rock and roll success couldn’t prevent him for getting back in trouble: he married his 13 year old second cousin. He got back on track during 1960s with country smashing tracks, but in 1988 had to file for bankruptcy listing $3 million in medical, personal and tax debts. Nevertheless, this music idol recovered from the downfall and currently tours around the world.
