There’s an old saying that it’s easy to make a million dollars in the music business, but it’s hard to hold on to one dollar. These country stars found that out the hard way when they ended up having to declare bankruptcy.
Which Country Stars Have Declared Bankruptcy?
The country singers who have gone bankrupt include some all-time legends.
Willie Nelson‘s money troubles in the early ’90s have been well-documented; the IRS seized and auctioned off many of his assets, and he ended up recording an album that he admitted was purely to pay off his debts.
He’s not the only legend to go broke. Several of the country stars on our list had decades-long careers that earned them big money, but wound up with little to show for it.
