6. Vin Baker

-cash blown: $100 million

Baker was a four-time NBA all star and within the period of his 13 year career, he had raked in a whopping 100 million dollars. It’s sad to say now that the 43 year old, father of three is working at Starbucks. So where did the money go, we all wonder.

Towards the end of his career Baker developed a serious alcohol problem. That coupled with a series of misguided financial investments in the restaurant industry after his retirement in 2006 made his bank account run to zero. Vin’s dependency to alcohol was not a good way to end a career.
