What Does Lowest Net Worth Mean?
Net worth is assets minus debts. A famous person with the lowest net worth may have negative wealth, meaning debts exceed assets. This can happen after major losses, lawsuits, or poor financial decisions.

Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, filed for bankruptcy in 2003 after spending millions. 50 Cent, the rapper and entrepreneur, filed for bankruptcy in 2015 with large debts.
