Many stars have basked in luxury, earning millions of dollars per film or album, only to have their illustrious careers suddenly cut short. From Oscars to bankruptcy, the stories of these downfalls have shocked Hollywood and the world. Consider Lindsay Lohan: by 2007, she had earned $28 million, but her career was derailed by scandals and court cases. Aaron Carter, whose platinum debut album brought him fame, lost everything while struggling with drug addiction and debt before his death. Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage had squandered his $150 million fortune on exotic purchases and luxuries by 2009, facing debt and problems with the IRS. Mike Tyson, who earned over $400 million, declared bankruptcy in 2003. Consider O.J. Simpson: from an American football icon and successful actor, he went from being jailed in 2008 for armed robbery, losing all respect and fortune. These stories are a reminder: even multimillion-dollar contracts and worldwide fame don't guarantee stability. Hollywood's glitz can turn into personal tragedy in just a few years. Who else, in your opinion, has fallen from Olympus?
