Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye had to file for bankruptcy in 1976 after a court ruling promised the $600,000 in royalties from his next album to his ex-wife to make up for overdue alimony payments.
He moved to Europe in 1981 and lived out a tumultuous remaining three years until his father shot him to death in 1984.
Although Marvin Gaye may not have mad bad investments or anything financially wrong, the sad truth is sometimes you don’t have to.
