Celebrities Who Got Rich and Then Lost It All

Kim Basinger

Kim Basinger invested $20 million into Braselton, Georgia. She planned on creating a tourist attraction there, but instead, she filed for bankruptcy in 1993 and sold the property. She was able to recover pretty much immediately because of the money that she got back from purchasing an entire town, which led her to star in several movies like 8 Mile and Fifty Shades Darker.
