Wesley Snipes
Wesley Snipes branded himself as one of Hollywood’s biggest Black action stars, and though he’s made a lot of cash, the “Blade” star blew right through his money and we all learned about it when he filed for bankruptcy in 2006. Although it’s not known exactly what Snipes was spending his money on, it clearly wasn’t o paying the IRS because that same year he was indicted on tax evasion charges. Owing $12 million, Snipes failed to pay the IRS for six years. He spent three years in prison and following his release, his good buddy Sylvester Stallone got him a role on “The Expendables 3.”
