Nicolas Cage | Total Amount: Approximately $10 million

At the peak of his career, Nicolas Cage was once a top earner in Hollywood with a net worth of $150 million, paychecks for hit movies like National Treasure, Face/Off, Leaving Las Vegas, The Rock, Con Air, Ghost Rider, and others. However, Cage didn’t get hold of the fortune for long. Instead, the actor squandered it away on a string of expensive purchases, which caused him financial troubles. At one point, the National Treasure star owned 15 residences, including a property in California worth $25 million, eventually selling it at the height of the market for $35 million. The 8,355-square-foot abode has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, private dock facilities, and many other amenities.

Other expensive stuff that Cage bought were several rare classic and modern cars, which included Rolls-Royce Ghost, Rolls-Royce, Phantom Coupe, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Miura SVJ, Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III, Lamborghini 350 GT, Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder, and many more, which all could have cost more than $10 million based on market price—credit to his success, at one time.
