Bow Wow
If you were listening to rap music in the year 2000, then chances are you were familiar with Shad Gregory Moss aka Lil’ Bow Wow. However, as Lil’ Bow Wow became Bow Wow, his popularity started to dwindle, and so did his savings. In 2012, he was ordered to give his daughter’s mother $3,000 each month, but he claimed to only have $1,500 to his name.
The biggest blow, however, was in 2017 when an airline passenger called out the rapper on Twitter for posting a picture of a private jet on his Instagram account when really he was on a commercial flight.
Drake Bell
Another child star that wasn’t able to keep earning the big bucks once he grew up is Drake Bell. We all remember the show Drake and Josh, but we haven’t heard much from good ole Drake in a while.
When his hit series ended, he decided to focus on his music, but he never made it big. By the year 2014, he couldn’t keep up with the payments on a house he had bought in 2007, and it was forced into foreclosure.
