9 Rich People Who Became Homeless

Brett Butler:

The Golden- Globe nominated actress battled drug addiction and ended up in a homeless shelter. Bret Butler starred in a successful sitcom, but she went broke after her 1993-1998 sitcom ended its run on the television.

The actress struggled with substance abuse while starring on the show, which was in the top ten for two seasons. She was also asked to leave from the sets of one of her shows because of her drug use. For some time she lived in a farm in Georgia where she lived with 15 pets. When all her money ran out, she ended up in a homeless shelter for cover.

She is now attempting to make a career comeback and is now working on developing a reality TV show about her self-professed psychic abilities.

Willy Aames:

Aames was making one million dollar a year at the peak of the 1979-1984. But when one of his series Charles in Charge (1984-1900) ended, he had to file for bankruptcy, saw his car repossessed and could no longer pay bills for his seriously ill wife. He got divorced from his wife and joined the ranks of homeless, sleeping in parking garages and parks, while trying to secure odd jobs.

According to Accounting Today, Ames might be planning a second career as financial adviser. He has now passed a training program, which will make him fit to work in the field.

Rocky Lockridge:

In the 1970s and 1980s, Rocky was a world heavyweight champion and is best known for handing Roger Mayweather his first defeat, earning him the super featherweight championship.

For the past two decades, Lockridge has suffered drug problems. He was so much into drugs that for two continuous weekends, he would snort cocaine and drink whatever was around. As bad as his beatings were in the ring, the abuse he put his body through was even worse. He lived on the streets of New Jersy for almost ten years. He is not in the shape now that he used to have earlier in his boxing days. His body tilts to one side when he walks due to a stroke he had suffered earlier.
