Nicolas Cage – Leaf Cay, $3 Million

Apparently, buying a private island was one of many purchases that contributed to Gone In 60 Seconds star Nicolas Cage going broke. He made an estimated $150 million between 1996 and 2011 and bought the island in 2006.

However, after running into financial difficulty, culminating with the IRS hounding him for $13 million in tax debt, Cage had to let the island go, wanting $7 million for it. It’s unclear whether Cage sold the island, but he has made a comeback on screen with films like A Score To Settle, Colours Out Of Space, and the upcoming Grand Isle.
