Hailing from Boronia, Victoria, Australia, the wrestler known as Emma and Tenille Tayla is the first female wrestler from the Land Down Under to sign to the WWE. And rightfully so, because of her willingness to go the extra mile. Whether if it's taking things to the top turnbuckle for a superplex or keeping things high energy with her signature Emma-Mite Sandwich running crossbody, she's not entering the ring to make everything look pretty. Also, her Dil-Emma and Emma-Lock submission moves are elite-level attacks that can't be pulled off by just any wrestler out there.
Prior to getting her big break, Emma, born Tenille Averil Dashwood, wrestled for several different independent wrestling promotion companies including PWA Australia, Shimmer Women Athletes, and Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) before making her way to WWE developmental territory programs in 2011. From 2011-2017, Emma wrestled on all of WWE's major platforms including NXT, Smackdown, and Raw where she gained the most exposure. Since then, Emma has worked the independent circuit and is currently wrestling on TNA Impact Wrestling as a major roster character.
Not all celebrities have fame and fortune, some are just famous – and in a ton of debt. They came from rags to riches, then went back to rags. Whether they’ve filed bankruptcy, ended up in court, or just can’t stop spending, celebrities mismanage their money just like everyone else. They just hide it well.
50 Cent coined the term “wanksta,” then “partied like it was his birthday” until he filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2015. The rapper was said to be anywhere between $10 million and $50 million in debt. In 2016, a federal bankruptcy court judge in Connecticut approved a plan for the founder of G-Unit to pay his debts back. He was able to get his bankruptcy discharged in February of the following year.
Following a 45-year-long career in Hollywood, acting in more than 70 films, actor Gary Busey found himself in more debt than he was worth. In 2012, it was reported that Busey owed between $500,000 and $1 million worth of debt, but only had $50,000 to his name. The 74-year-old actor owed money to hospitals, banks, the L.A. Waterworks District, and even a storage company. He filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy that same year. Despite his longstanding career in Hollywood, Busey's net worth is now only $500,000.
Burt Reynolds is still worth five million dollars, but his battles with debt date back more than 20 years. Between bad investments and a pricey divorce from actress Loni Anderson, the 1970s superstar had to deal with over $10 million in debt and decided to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1996. While testifying in a 1994 custody hearing, the South Florida native said he spent $40 million getting through his divorce.
The former Hollywood bad boy, Charlie Sheen owes the IRS nearly $5 million. But that's not all.

That same year, Debt.com reported Sheen owed nearly $300,000 on an American Express card alone.
