Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman is best known for his time playing alongside Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the 1990’s. In 2014, he filed for bankruptcy in Los Angeles, saying he was unable to pay child or spousal support as he was sick and broke. He owed $800,000 in child support and $50,000 in spousal support. It’s hard to think that he was once earning $9 million per NBA season.

Evander Holyfield

Evander Holyfield is known for two things: being one of the most successful boxers ever, and for having his ear bitten off by Mike Tyson. He earned millions of dollars throughout his career, but began having financial woes when it came to paying child support. He was later forced to sell his mansion for $7.5 million, although that was just a fraction of what he owed the bank.
