Sonja Morgan
The Real Housewives of New York City’s Sonja Morgan went through all sorts of hardships in 2010. At the time, she had a reported net worth of $13.5 million, which is not small by any standard, unless you’ve accumulated over $19 million in debt. So, without knowing how to pay back her loans, she filed for bankruptcy.
She pointed the finger of blame at the joint film venture along with John Travolta. She then went through a lengthy lawsuit against a production company that ended up costing her $7 million, and then she got divorced. For quite some time, she was left literally penniless.
