    Hello, I am making a website (richbust.com) that features stories about famous wealthy people who have gone bankrupt. Do you have any suggestions on who I should write about? Thanks very much.

    I think you should be able to find many “good” examples on the E! channel.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Yeah I read the story about the 315 million powerball winner, Jack Whittaker (washingtonpost.com storyl). It's actually the story that inspired me to work on this topic.

    M.C. Hammer, Gary Glitter (alleged), and the actor from BlackHawk Down... crap, can't think of his name...

    Tyson, Houston and Jackson were never broke. That's tabloid news.

    Don't forget Willie Nelson. I think the government auctioned off his ranch to pay back taxes when he went bust.

    You will probably find several Powerball winners that pissed it all away--unless all those stories are just urban legends. :D

    There should be some real interesting stories out there. It could also be interesting to cover false allegations of bankrupcy, such as Donald Trump (Rosie O'Donnell claim) and the people mentioned by AZHitman.
