## Transcript

Seems it sometimes doesn't matter how much money you've stacked up, some people will always figure out how to blow through it. Here's a list of 2014's biggest celebrity money blunders. Let's start with some huge sports names who will likely keep their financial heads above water. Michael Jordan and Dwight Howard won't likely start. Secondary careers as realtors anytime soon. Jordan first put his Illinois estate up for sale in 2012 for $ 29 Million. Then dropped the price to $ 21 Million. Then dropped it again to a minimum bid of $ 13 Million at auction. In 2014 he took it completely off the market with no takers.

Howard also ended up losing on his nearly $ 8 million mansion outside Orlando. He listed it at $ 4. 9 million but had to sell it for $ 3. 4 million. As for other notable celebrities, Vanessa Williams now has an IRS lien for $ 370, 000 in unpaid taxes $ 50 million? Okay, Rush Hour and Friday star Chris Tucker doesn't owe that much, but he did get stuck with a $ 2. 5 million lien, even though he reached an agreement with the IRS. If the NHL's Jack Johnson filing a 10 million dollar bankruptcy or quarterback Vince Young filing chapter eleven after 25 million dollars in lifetime earnings sounds bad, consider former NBA star Antoine Walker.

In 2014, Walker previewed how he went from 110 million in lifetime earnings. To bankruptcy for the upcoming documentary Gone In An Instant. That has to be the worst, right? Surely that's the worst. Well Real Housewives of New Jersey couple Teresa and Joe Giudice will serve federal prison time after pleading guilty in March to mail, wire and bank fraud. Teresa begins her sentence in January. So if you're watching your stacks dwindle slowly, take comfort. At least you didn't take the financial hit these celebs did.
