Mischa Barton
Mischa Barton was one of Hollywood’s it girls in the early 2000s. There’s no wonder why, seeing as she starred in the hit drama TV series, The O.C. The show ended in 2007, but she had already left the set in 2006 to pursue a more serious career in acting. Although she did star in several movies, none of them would launch her to the stardom she was looking for.
Playing starring roles in minor movies didn’t do much for her financially. Plus, unbeknownst to her, her mother/financial manager was digging her in a deeper hole of debt due to massive house loans. Today, she’s worth roughly $1 million, which is borderline-bankrupt by Hollywood actress standards.
