Celebrities Who Got Rich and Then Lost It All

Todd Bridges

Todd Bridges was the last one of the Diff'rent Strokes crew to fall apart. He lost almost all of his money due to serious drug addiction. At a point, he was making minimum wage as an actor, after he had been making roughly $15,000 to 30,000 a week before. He was never able to really recoup all of the money and time he had lost.
