Broke Musicians: When you think famous musician, you probably think a lot about all the crazy things they get to do, be it substances, or rolling around in money. Well, today you can forget about how much all of these famous musicians have made. This article has nothing to do with how much these people have made. It has more to do with how much these people have lost. There are all sorts of musicians out there who used to live in gigantic mansions and probably slept on a bed full of hundred dollar bills, but now, they’ve got almost nothing to their name or they’ve at least lost their swanky homes. These are all once great stars who ended up tanking the bank accounts and having their homes taken away by the tax man.

Just a few notables from this big list of 20 low-life musicians who have lost at least some of their homes? Billy Joel has made the list somehow, which is crazy since he’s never seemed to suffer much in his career. Courtney Love is not a shocking addition to this list, though the house she lost was the one she put Kurt’s family in…so she’s still a horrible human being. Now, scroll down and check out some more of these broke musicians.
10 Michael Jackson
Yes, he’s the “King of Pop”, but let’s not ignore the incredible allegations made against him. I’m sure we all remember MJ’s Neverland Ranch and the allegations that he touched some kids in a very inappropriate and snuggly way. Well, once all of that surfaced and it was thrown all over the media, and his reputation was tarnished, he vowed never to go back to Neverland Ranch.
However, he still owned the damn place and he just let it sit there and go into disrepair. And since he didn’t pay anything into it at that point, it was foreclosed and he lost the property. And that’s not all. At the time of his death, he apparently had over $300 million in debt. Apparently, it doesn’t pay very well to be the king.
9 50 Cent
I don’t know if anyone cares about 50 Cent anymore (I never really did at all) but he’s still got a story that’s worthy of being thrown into this list. After making it big in the business from being a poor dealer getting shot on the mean streets of wherever he’s from, 50 Cent spent his money all over the place. He supported all his poor friends and family, he gave to charities in Africa, he bought Rolls Royce cars whenever he could and he bought a huge estate that Tyson had just lost years before.
After some bad business deal with a film production company, and stealing copyrighted materials for a line of headphones…and posting a revenge-tape of an ex of his…let’s just say he lost millions upon millions of dollars and he ended up losing the mansion and estate the same way that Tyson did.
