Rock Stars Who Lost All Their Money

- Music trends can be fleeting. One day, you’re the hottest new act in the world, and the next, you’re struggling to stay relevant. If you’re a musician who has a meteoric rise to success, it’s easy to spend like you’ll always have money to burn, but it can all come crashing down when the fame fades.
Plenty of rock stars have lost almost all of their money and ended up in some pretty unfortunate situations over the years, like the American singer who declared bankruptcy over a bad recording contract or the Libertines rocker who went on a downward spiral. Let’s take a look at some rock stars who lost all their money.

If you made millions of dollars, do you think you'd burn through it all in just a few years?
I'd be dead in a week. But it be a fun ass weeek!
Get a bank accounted
The Courtney Love part is non sense and her biological father Hank Harrison was the long time manager of the Grateful Dead themselves, making millions over the years in their best days 60's and 70's. Love was raised in luxury, and has never been broke or close to broke. Even Dave Grohl was from a prominent political family in Washington DC, but fan sheep think he was from Seattle Washington ! No, the other way around it was Washington DC.
Once you've made two mil, you should be able to live well off of a conservative investment's interest.
Watch your overhead and hire a financial advisor.
This list should have been called: "How Record Labels Screw Over Musicians"
Keep in mind that there are a good number of musicians who go for the immediate cash they see in the contract when they are unknown, but then start whining about the conditions of the contract once they hit the big time.
the essential ingredient is this: get them high, keep them high and make them sign stuff while they're high.
Facts
Nugent wasn't screwed by the labels, he's an idiot who screwed himself.
They're still doing it. Tale old as time.
I wish MY yearly income would plummet to just $200,000. 🙄
@Josh The_Carpenter The money goes quickly when you're paying Lawyers, Managers, Mortgage or Mortgage's, Bad Investments, Living Expenses, Many types of Insurance, etc.. and Dee Snyder wasn't Drugging and drinking it away ... Suddenly 200K doesn't seem that much.. Now if he were living your life style, I'm sure that 200K would go much farther. Hell, my own lifestyle would improve dramatically with 200K!!! LOL ;)
buy some bitcoin and hold it for a year or two u will make lots of profits :)
@@chefscorner7063 And don't forget those supermodel girlfriends and trophy wives! They's expen$ive!
@@chefscorner7063 To my knowledge, Dee has never lived a lush lifestyle, and I seriously doubt that he has ever shelled out big bucks on either personal management or an attorney. I also don't remember him ever making any serious investments or expensive insurance payments.
@@shirleypena4133 Then you know more about his life then I ever care to. Money's got to go somewhere and he made more then $10 bucks an hour! In the end, it's a small comment from someone (me) that has no idea of his overall lifestyle through the years. Ya know, A TH-cam Comment.. LOL
Tom Petty is without a doubt one of the best American songwriters ever. He played the lables...good on him. Smart man.
💕RIP Tom💕
*was - as in past tense. He's been pushing up daisies for doing what Prince did as well. Sad that they made choices that led to OD'ing on Fentanyl. If Petty had just postponed his last concert and allowed his broken hip to heal properly (we don't heal as fast in our sixties nor do we metabolize medicstions/drugs as quickly as when we're young) then he'd still be singing and playing and able to retire comfortably. Talk about running down a drain.
@@danielfronc4304 *dream
You’re crazy. His vocals were not strong and his guitar playing was simple like a folk acoustic singer
Sloppy and a drug addict. Get real
@@youthmanrecords965 *songwriting* not vocal or guitar skills. He was very good at what he did.
Tom Petty, most successful comeback. TP was worth about $95 million when he died. TP & The Heartbreakers, one of America's greatest bands of all time. RIP Tom.
Always loved lyrics and attitude 😉
I'm so glad I got to see them at Summerfest back in 2008!
Meat Loaf brought himself back pretty well too
Only difference is that he didn’t lose the big money he had thrown drugs and shit like T P did
"living on only a couple hundred thousand a year". Hmm, challenge accepted.
"Do you do drugs?"
"Not me, just booze and cocaine."
He said opiates... which means no heroin...
But Booze and cocaine are drugs
.
🙄
not famous, but i play guitar pretty good. lost a twenty that fell out of my wallet at a convenience store. does that count?
Yes,ya got screwed man.
Well.... It doesn't sound very convenient to say the least
If all you had was a 20 you would certainly be a “rocker whose lost all their money” and should be on the list
Legend
Its doednt say famous rock stars it just says rock stars that lost all their money. So that lost $20 counts at least 70%-80%
Ringo almost became broke in the 70s. Queen also had a manager earlier that was screwing them over, hence the song "Death on two legs"
Wrong mick Fleetwood did not found Fleetwood Mac. It was peter green and asked Fleetwood to join the band. The name was generated more or less in passing by green as he liked the sound. Most of the members had previously played with mayall
Green was a reluctant front man too. Very shy.. So he wanted a band name not really identified with him.
I've been broke for 40 years.
I am a hardcore punk fanatic, heavy metal also a large part of my musical enjoyments.... but I got to see Leonard Cohen a few years back and well before his passing and I will tell you that he put on about the best show I have ever been too with the craziest and most enthusiastic fans in the crowd I have ever seen. I had no idea he was robbed of his money.
The real rock star here is obviously Tom Petty.
Word!
And kurt Cobain for having to deal with courtney love
A real champ
they all got fuktd really
also Bowie learnt his lesson early on, he then kept a tight reign on his financial managers,diversified his investments.
Same with Tom Petty, he was hugely wealthy when he passed.
Stephen Tyler said on Joe Rogan, he only started to see real cha ching $$ when he was a judge on BGT.
his managers made a point of making sure they were too stoned to know which way was up.
Or the ones you trusted and paid to look after your money, just didnt.
at your own peril, many many musicians went stoney broke.
I know a guy who was in a moderatley successful rock band in the 80's, aired on MTV, played bass for Prince to end up back at his parents house broke by 1990. He eventually revived his career, went back on gigs and touring.
It's not just the money you make, it's also the overhead. Touring is mega-expensive for a band. Van Halen's 1984 tour never made any money because they had 18 trucks hauling around their stage and equipment consisting of 2,000 lights.
Tom Petty, what an utter legend. Not only did he same some of the greatest music I've ever heard, he was a bona fide rebel who could always get the better of any sleazebag who tried to force him into a bad spot.
A lot of great music sad the way he went out👎
I can't see how buying a hotel in Flint Michigan would be a bad investment. Go figure.
back in the day Flint wasn't the shit hole it is now

I played the L.A. club circuit from late 1979 through 1982 as lead guitarist in Lip Service. The band was offered a massive contract but it was contingent upon me "taking one for the team" (as it were) from a VIP of the day. I turned it down and the band never got signed. It's STILL the best decision I have ever made.
Yeah did you suck or?
'His wages plunged to just a couple of hundred thousands' my heart bleeds for these people......
Couldn't happen to a "better" man than Ted Nugent!
He doesn't need money. He can hunt and kill liberals for food.
You should have included Butch Trucks. One of Rocks great drummers, after 50 years in the Allman Brothers Band living beyond his means and bad investments left him with little to show for his half century of work. Humiliated and desperate, he took his own life. It was very tragic.
When?

@plaguelockhell is on earth
.. as opposed to rock stars, who are known for being model citizens 😁
The phrase " living like a rock star " comes to mind. And, there is a difference between personal and business bankruptcy. It should be.stated as well that many celebrities (including rockers) are not financially savvy and not smart enough to hire good business managers.
Live below your means, so you can afford your drug habit.
So apparently I’m broke too, these dudes are “only” getting $100,000 a year and they made it on this list so I’m like really broke.
Blackground Records did Toni Braxton and Jojo so dirty, then you have TLC.
I guess when you're young and have a dream you'll sign anything.
No mention of the Grateful Dead who were notoriously ripped off by their "Manager" Lenny Hart. The band celebrated his discovery and banishment with the song "He's Gone".
fishercat Fuck those piece of shit hippies maybe if they weren't so doped out they would have realized sooner!
Could barely afford to eat? These ppl don't know the struggle other ppl go through just to live these days
@plaguelock Damn dude sorry to hear that. Your absolutely right about these fuckers. They don't know what real hard times are. My life is fucked up too. 2019 did a real number on me. 2020 is here fuck I'll sink or swim. Good luck man
This what you call brought back down to earth. When you had it all and a few hundred k's seems very little to a once rich person who doesn't nt know the meaning of being broke and living an average lifestyle.
I'm a qualified able seaman fisherman in south africa who earns round about R200000 ($15000) annually and drowns in debt. I lost a lot of money from people owing me especially relatives due to my kindness that left me financially and emotionally unstable.
I'm reduced to living in a shack coz I can't afford to own a decent house. But hey as long as my family have a roof over their heads, food in their tummies I'll be alright.
I still believe that I'll be blessed someday
@plaguelock DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Also,.. don't go any further without a lawyer if you don't have one, the SSA wants you to get discouraged and/or get desperate.
Right on...can barely afford to eat, but probably manages to down a bottle or two of top shelf a day!!
Exactly, I work 50 hours a week in construction and I have a hard time. I don't feel bad for these people at all, I'm sorry but no way
Never trust anyone with your money. It's sad, but it brings out the worst of people; and then it gets worse. Never trust anyone.
Especially yourself.
You might remember The Mamas and the Papas. When they broke up and went to collect their money from the record company (Dunhill/Warner Bros.), they learned that each one of the (4) members owed $250,000. 1968 dollars. Probably over a million dollars a piece in today's dollars. Denny Doherty told me this himself when we were working together on a stage musical. They put out another album to cover the deficit. It didn't do as well as their previous albums, but covered the debt. He was a very sweet guy with a great sense of humour, but totally cynical about the Biz. No wonder! RIP, Denny.
Imagine going broke for not being being a drug addict
if they were drug addicts they wouldve faired better probably. WTF? Rock N Roll!
Well right just like stupide dee snider what jerk🤘
8.01 Crosby looking like cheech 😂
$6,000 a piece for a top record at the time??? Screw the record labels
Leonard Cohen looks like Mr spocks musical brother
he already had one.. unfortunately: th-cam.com/video/P9NSpAdGxgU/w-d-xo.html
Except Mr. Spock has a better singing voice.
@@tonyrauls1941 yeah and he's better lookin :D
I’m already broke but at least without any drama involved.
I once heard a saying from a wise man...It goes, "If you're lucky enough in life to somehow obtain
LOTS of MONEY, be smart...You can live like a King for a few years, or a Prince...FOREVER."
He added, "If friends or family weren't there for the bad times, don't invite them to enjoy the
'Good Times'..."
Never heard a wiser saying.
Courtney Love can’t be too poor, as she seems to always have enough money to get her face remodelled, which I would imagine would not be cheap !
She used to blame Dave Grohl for hoarding Nirvana money
@@chrismarquette8627 Dave deserved nirvana royalties.
That must be a sorry plastic surgeon then!
Johnny Rezknik spent all of his money on plastic surgery.
He looked better before he had work done. I still am in love with him !
Poor Frances Bean. Courtney Love screwed her out of her inheritance.
No, Frances has millions. When she turned 21 she inherited a lot of money. No worries.
It didn’t went like that wtf
I think Frances is going to be just fine. I am sure there is money in a trust somewhere that Courtney can't touch.
"At one point meatloaf was massive"
I'd say he still is
I read David Bowie saw very little of the money from his awesome 70's work thanks to RCA swindeling him. After wrangling his way outta RCA he then released the global hit album "Lets Dance" in '83 and really started to earn. His revenge was better still when later in the '90's he secured then resold the rights to his entire back catalogue for around 50 000 000, whilst retaining future royalties and all rights to commercial use of his music. At the time of his death his wealth was estimated to be around half a billion dollars. Clever guy. RIP Dave
It wasn't RCA, it was his manager, Tony Defries. Wrapped up all of Bowie's publishing.
@@edkociela9084 Oh yeah, Defries screwed him over too, but at the same time Bowie was none too happy with RCA.
EZ Come
EZ Go
Remember what George C. Scott (Patton) said at the end of the movie.
"All glory is fleeting"
"When you put your hand in a pile of goo that was once your best friend's face, you'll know what to do!" Great movie.
@@ianwerden5601 He also said at the end. "All glory is fleeting". Enjoy fame as long as you can for someday you'll be yesterday's news.
The money from Kurt's estate should go towards a trust fund raising money and awareness of rockstars that have been murdered by psychopathic, drug addicted wives who hire local hitmen to kill their husbands.
And the misogynistic fans who love them
I always said if i got a record contract i wouldnt piss through my dough, but no one can reall say until they are there. Many people just get screwed by trusting the wrong people.
Money isn’t the answer... remember that. At your lowest.
I had money and I’ve had nothing.
People and family and connections are more important.
Trust
Maybe so, but I think I'd rather be miserable & rich than miserable & poor.
Same here when you are exactly correct.
I've had money and I've had none....money was better...
Money is the answer to everything. And it’s true money can buy Happiness.
Yeah, but I'd rather cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.
The Goo Goo Dolls didn’t lose all their money, they had none, then broke through and due to their contracts received little compensation, sued, John wrote Iris and got rich. They still record and hit the road every year. From what I’ve seen and read, Name saved their career because if the Boy Named Goo record didn’t hit, they would have hung it up.
I know they still sell the Greek out every year. Took the wife to see them there a few years ago. Granted the Greek is not Staples center but tickets are not cheap. Not the biggest venue but all 6K seats get sold every time they play there. I wont pity them anytime soon.
Did he really just call Meatloaf "Loaf"??
Lol... yep
Way too many times
That's because his name is Meat Loaf. To spell it as one word is a common mistake.
😂😂yup
Victimology , Wouldn't that be Mr. Loaf then?
Rock Star: "I have lost all my money."
Helpful Fan: "Hmm, where did you last see it?"
Scott Stapp from Creed went broke previously in 2014.
Just putting that in for you.
Anyone who can best a record company is a hero in my book. (Salute toTom Scholz)
Goo Goo Dolls are much more than financially solid. Count up their hit songs and sold out concerts. Their appeal has an amazingly strong following.
Thomas McNulty JOHNNY REZNICK is a friend of mine. He told me the band got SCREWED BAD! But got payed AFTER they sued their label.
@@tec61 If John was truly a friend of yours, you would know how to spell his last name🤦
That lead singer loves himself
The definition of insanity: doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. Musicians/Rock stars.........totally insane. But we love 'em anyway.
Kurt didn't kill himself! and now Courtney is not broke anymore....
unless are you confessing, the official cause of death is documented as suicide.
@Heart Hexed probably not, but these are. the forensic determination, the coroner's report and all circumstantial evidence all agree. so it leaves zero doubt as to what happened. Occam's razor if you will. you can believe in some compartmentalized conspiracy theory like some do, but those flat-earthers are numb-skulls.
@Heart Hexed like i said, believe in what you want to. i'm a round-earther. you have no idea what i know, who i know, or if how i'm connected to those involved before, during, and after. but unlike you, i would never tell someone what to believe or how to think. so stay safe and stay away from the edge. cheers.
@Heart Hexed no one asked for your perspective. as ridiculous as it is, it's all yours. me? i'll stick to what i know to be true. all you are doing is speculating, which is ok, but counter productive and insulting to the truth. maybe being more pragmatic would help your understanding. and stay away from the edge. i'm told it's a long drop.
@Heart Hexed sorry, i don't mean to hurt your feelings. but we all know that the truth sometimes hurts. but you are a lucky person. i don't usually educate the naive. cheers
Learning Nugent went broke made me happy. Thanks Grunge.
Steven Edwards regardless Trump 2020🇺🇸❤️

Em Lo hows taking all that “migrant “ D working out for you ? 🤣🤣🤣
🙌🏼🎉
At least they had those wonderful times when they had the chance, so although those days may be over where they're now broke, at least they'll always have the memories. There's people who've been broke their entire lives who never got to live an awesome life like what those rock stars did.
David Crosby was a fool and half with it. LOVE IT
drug addict shity mn
"...someday, someone will acknowledge that these are some of the greatest rock & roll songs ever written" - Ted Nugent. Don't hold your breath Ted! On second thought...
Lets see , Stranglehold and Cat scratch fever are legendary classic rocks song..let me guess ,you dont like him because of his political stats..Go listen to lady gaga who didn't write or composed any of her biggest hits ...
It must be awesome to interpreted someone elses art and get all the credit..
@@randyjamison7981 Those are literally the only two songs anyone remembers from him. I'll pit John Bon Jovi, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp or Bruce Springsteen against him any day in number and quality of songs that people remember.
@@soonerproud you know how many classic rock musicians that people can only name a couple songs from ???? Peter Frampton
I can only think of feel like we do and baby I love you way ....

I'll wait
@@randyjamison7981 I didn't mention Peter Frampton, did I?
@@soonerproud no you didnt
Im just pointing out that there are classic musicians that have sold millions of albums and people don't know but a couple songs from the artist...Now STFU and have yourself a good day
Courtney Loves doesn't deserve any of her money
What people don't understand about the music industry is that they don't " Pay " these star's. They give them what amount's to a loan and if they don't manage their money right then the record co. will eat them alive.
Jimmy page was was to smart. He never sign away the rights to there music and he kept the master recording tapes. Very smart move. The man. Not many bands can say or clam that. Rock on.
agreed
Page and plant wrote fuck all listen to all the original blues artists thay ripped off even stairway is stolen from Spirit and the Small faces
Sam Cooke
Page had Peter Grant on the job too. Grant was real henchman
Wrong worst channel ever ! real musos who know and love all music, care, and excuses for musos are apathetic case in point
Peter Green founded Fleetwood mac.
Had to watch the whole video only to see the Goo Goo Dolls at the END haha 😅
It WAS a long way down! ;o)
@@DMSProduktions lol haha 😂
The dude in the GooGoo Dolls had a' Michael Jackson' done to his nose.
I think he looks like the male version of Jennifer Aniston
It's so weird to hear Meat Loaf being referred to as Loaf. Like his first name is Meat, and his last name is Loaf.
Lol it's probably meatloaf johnson
His name is Marvin Aday.
How did Courtney Love not lose custody of her and Cobain's daughter when she was still underage?
because she is a dirty pirate hooker
She did.
Kurt's mom pretty much raised Frances.
@@stephiiiless makes a lot of sense given Courtney was a junkie for years
Mink farm is the next spinal tap album
Just like a gold rush, it is not the miners who made money, it is the person running the supply store.
David Crosby should write a song about not carrying cocaine and a gun.
Hahaha
I want to see a video on rock stars that lost their minds!! That would b interesting.
2 hour video
Hard to feel bad for people when they get a lot of money they could be paying in cash and not buying out side there range 1 millon dollars lol in 2019 realy isnt much
Really not realy. And 1 million dollars is still a lot what the hell are you talkin about?
Courtney Love called and demands her drugs back..
lol i love how he casually and nonchalantly calls him "loaf"....like thats his last name
"As the drummer, Fleetwood didn't write any of the band's songs." Drummers aren't allowed to write songs? Go figure.
Lol... semantics. Neal Peart of Rush cowrote all the songs.
NOW you know what James Brown meant when he said "give the drummer some"
My band opened a show for Goo Goo Dolls and Lifehouse back in 2013. Johnny Rzeznik is way shorter than you think. Nice guys though.
jacklegg21 Dang, if HE'S short, then their bassist must be a friggin' MIDGET!
the list never ends with people/ talent being exploited, who are not financially savvy...and that's EVERYONE who works for a living
Greased Lightning well not everyone is 55 good sir, and has those exploitation’s for financial “wisdom”
Greased Lightning you’re statement is just as contradicting as your implementation of “having your shit together” didn’t say I was bright either but as far as I can tell you’re not either haha.

You never gave us a previous update as to what the Goo Goo Dolls are up to now.
They are currently on tour with Train. They have a new single "Miracle Pill" dropping tomorrow, the album by the same name comes out some time in September. They will be joining Jon Bon Jovi on a few dates in the Fall, and also will be playing at Rock In Rio this year. Those are a few of the things they are up to now
Slight issue with the Meatloaf feature, Jim Steinman wrote Bat out of Hell... He gets the windfall, not Meatloaf. For future readers, do not take what you see on social media as verbatim. Go do the research ✨✨✨👍
thumbtack40 - Well, that kinda takes the fun out of it!
thumbtack40 misinformation is not fun for impressionable minds...
That dentist quote is legend, well done!
Metallica are fortunate to own all of their music and have their own label.
Love is projecting her guilt. She's the only one in her life frauding people.
I heard her daughter inherited all of Kurt’s fortune and she’s a fashion designer working with Stella McCartney. Not bad. Also she has absolutely nothing to do with Courtney. Good on her!!
David Crosby is a duchbag, he's got the balls to call out Ted Nugent saying he doesn't belong in the rock n roll hall of fame. Love Ted Nugent his music his stance on the second amendment
Nubent isd a POS the guy shit himself for a wek to avoid geting drafted and sent to "Nam He talks big on guns but would shit himself if anything shot back at him
Saw a quick pic of a Kemper amp towards the end of this vid (Goos in the studio).
Wow, blown away by Cohen shit.
I was honestly truly first introduced to Cohen watching NBK in summer 95. I was 18, and "the miracle" was like a nice massage for my brain at time
countless celebs have lost all their money, that's because keeping money is just as hard as making it.
Not if you aren't drinking it up or shooting it into your veins.
James Anderson or surrounded by people see you as a piggy bank or make bad investments
Beware of those that say they can manage.
Michael Bolton nearly lost all of his money too. He even had a problem paying his rent back then. That's the reason why he stopped being an artist that was into hard rock and heavy metal. It was then when he decided to do what he's known for. Having soft rock ballads.
Peter Green founded Fleetwood Mac! How did you not find him!
On what planet is Pete Doherty a “rock star”?
The one you walk around on in a daze, apparently.

How about Terry Knight ripping off Grand Funk Railroad?
They did not lose their money, they spent their money.
"Rock stars who lost all their money". I honestly expected this to be a 3 hour long video.
