Boris Becker, Tennis Player – Poor Spending Habits
In addition to his legendary name, German tennis player Boris Becker became an icon by winning Wimbledon a whopping three times! He also became notorious for his off-court life of luxury. For those who might not know, Becker was the Central African Republic’s attaché for sports, culture, and humanitarian affairs to the European Union.
Unfortunately, while his career had ended, Becker continued to spend loads of cash, even when the money stopped flowing in. After filing for bankruptcy, the tennis player watched lawyers take and sell everything he owned. In one of the most famous auctions of all time, Becker’s entire tennis memorabilia went to the highest bidder!
