I have no sympathy for celebs like this (and Kerry Katona) who end up owing all that tax - and it annoys me that they can just 'go bankrupt'    They earned the money or they wouldn't be due tax on it.    What did they do with it all (ok, we know what happened to Kerry Katona's) do they think they've got a God given right to employment and just spend their all assuming they'll have a job when bill paying time comes around?

What annoys me is that they seem to get a "reality show" out of it, thus making more money !!!

 

How easy it seems to come to some who do not appear to appreciate their good fortune.

According to the DM - ÂĢ149k to the tax man and ÂĢ30k to the bank.

 

Am I misreading this, she's gone bankrupt for owing less than a mortgage on a garden shed in the east end

it seems so - times are hard.    She's been very nice to her Twitter followers though - she's getting lots of sympathy.

Can't she earn ÂĢ180k

The trustees can sell all her assets and pay back as much as they can with the funds. If she has enough assets, then the debts will be paid in full. If not, then they will take any earnings she has over the next year, give her enough to live on and use the rest to pay her creditors.

Members of the Jackson family - first Michael's parents with debts of $45m , then some of the children - Tito, Jermaine, Randy and Rebbie.

Apparently, Michael and his songbird sisters Janet and LaToya did nothing, saying they had no part of the family firm.

La Toya Jackson then went bankrupt herself, & Michael is rumoured to have been heading for bankruptcy himself. At one point, he'd managed to reduce his spending to ÂĢ1m a month.

and this post on there sums it all up for me .... so true 


It always amazes me though when celebs go bankrupt they seem to continue to live in the same house, have the same lifestyle etc yet when ordinary people go bankrupt it has a devastating effect on their lives.

Very true. When ordinary people get into financial trouble, bailiffs are sent round - apparently if a window is open they can enter to take whatever belongings they can + even tow your car away.
