When famous people file for bankruptcy, the documentation usually reveals a few strange, eccentric quirks when it details where their money has gone. Mekhi Phifer, as it turns out, is a man of odd and expensive tastes. Phifer first came to prominence the same way George Clooney did - appearing in 'E.R.' What propelled him to the next level was starring alongside Eminem in the semi-biographical movie '8 Mile,' at which point Phifer's income was working out somewhere in the region of $7,500 per month. That sounds great to us, but he was also spending just under $12,000 per month.
The situation obviously couldn't last, and it didn't. Phifer went bankrupt in 2014, owing just over $1m, and with only $67,000 in the bank. His largest questionable expenditures were an enormous quantity of firearms, and a bed wholly made from leather. The worst thing about that is that it can't even have been comfortable!
