9. Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga broke? Oh, come on! Nobody would expect that to be true. But, it turns out that there was a point in the singer’s life where she was broke completely. Funny thing to mention, she was broke during her 2009 Monster’s Ball tour. Some people have the guts to follow their dreams no matter what, and Gaga is the perfect example. At the time, she knew that the tour would be a massive success, but a lot of resources were needed for the extravagant performances she intended to have on the tour.
The record house didn’t back her up, so she invested every last dollar she had ($3 million) on the stage, the costumes, performers and light shows. During the tour, she was literally broke – zero dollars in the bank. But, the courage and determination paid off. After several incredible performances, Gaga received a check for 40 million dollars from the Live Nation. “It changed my life and the life of my whole family,” Gaga said in an interview. So, it was true after all; at one point in her career, Lady Gaga was penniless. Think about that for a minute.
