Athletes That Were Once Rich But Lost It All

Marion Jones

Marion Jones became the first female athlete million in the whole world as a highly successful track and field star who won three gold and two bronze medals at the 2002 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Her legacy was tarnished once she admitted to using steroid and her medals were revoked. In 2006, she filed for bankruptcy, was forced to sell her homes, and even spent time in jail for counterfeit checks.
