2. Gary Coleman

At the height of his career, the Diff'rent Strokes star was one of NBC's highest paid stars, but his family didn't have his best interest at heart. Coleman's parents decimated his wealth so he filed a lawsuit against them in 1989. The actor was awarded $1.3 million, but he ended up filing for bankruptcy later in life. He died at 42 without much to his name.
