Maradona, dubbed "El Pibe de Oro" or "the Golden Boy" by his legions of fans, is said to owe nearly $53 million. The debts stem from his years playing for Napoli from 1984-91. He played for a number of teams but is most famous for his time in Napoli, where he helped the club win two Serie A titles. He amassed a tax bill in the tens of millions of dollars, refusing to pay initially because he claimed that those taxes were the team's responsibility.

In 2006, Italian police confiscated two Rolex watches worth about $15,000 when Maradona showed up to play in a benefit match. In 2009, while at a weight loss clinic in Merano, he was met by Italian police who confiscated the earrings he was wearing; the three diamond earrings were estimated to be worth just under $6,000.

The hair, the headband, the epic Wimbledon battles with John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors: Swedish tennis legend Björn Rune Borg had one of the greatest, yet shortest, careers in professional tennis. Borg won his first Wimbledon at barely 20 years old. He would win a total of five titles on the grass at Wimbledon and six more in the French Open, all before retiring at the ripe old age of 26.

Three marriages and two divorces later, Borg narrowly missed declaring bankruptcy again in 1997, but has restored his wealth through a now-successful clothing and sportswear venture called simply Bjorn Borg. Impossibly, it doesn't sell headbands.

The right-handed player, who turned pro in 1985 and retired in 2002, won almost $US17 million ($15.8 million) in prize money, according to the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). The tennis star’s problems first came to light at the end of her professional career in 2003, when she was ordered to pay €5.2 million for tax fraud. In November 2012, Vicario began legal proceedings against her father Emilio, her brother Javier and two other ‘trusted’ people who managed her income, the lawyer Bonaventura Castellanos and the promoter Francisco de Paula. The four were accused of appropriating her €45 million fortune, through fraudulent administration, professional disloyalty and falsity. She only discovered the truth about how much she had earned through the tax office, and the revelation forced her to undergo ‘psychological and psychiatric’ treatments.
