There are no half reliable sources to base these on and, they are for entertainment purposes only. Some of the guys there are broke as in deep in debt and still apparently worth millions.



Entertainment business is what it is. 98% bullshit and the rest accidently true.



One of the more well documented is the case of Johnny Depp. He was assumed to be worth hundreds of millions until lately, he has fallen to hard times. He wasn't. Money was going out faster than coming in. And it was coming in fast.

A nice quote just to put it all in context: It's unclear how cash-strapped Depp is. According to litigation, he has received $25.7 million over the past two years in profits from six movies, and he earned up-front money — likely close to $20 million each — from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," "LAbyrinth," and "Gnomeo & Juliet: Sherlock Gnomes."



It doesn't mean the guys aren't well off. It just means that we do not know how well off - and anyone writing these lists is just writing a story.
