10 Former Richest Celebrities Who Have Gone Broke

6. Shane Filan

At some point in his life, the former singer who used to be a part of the band “Westlife”, could not buy toys for his son.

This was due to an £18 million debt which was as a result of a series of ill-fated property investments.

When in 2011, the band decided to split, Shane’s fate seemed sealed.

But for a solo career that surprisingly bloomed for Shane, the story would have been worse for him and his family.
