Anna Nicole Smith’s Bizarre Bankruptcy Claim.
Posted on | January 27, 2010 |
I don’t usually post about celebrity news, but occasionally a “celebrity in debt” kind of story catches my attention.
Today, I came across this story about Anna Nicole Smith’s bankruptcy that was about the strangest thing I’d read since… well, since Michael Jackson was in the news.
For starters, we have the classic celebrity in debt quote:
In a 1996 bankruptcy filing, an examiner notes that Smith “did not know why she was in bankruptcy.”
She didn’t know she was bankrupt?
I wish I had the kind of money that would allow me to live the kind of life where you’re suddenly bankrupt and never saw it coming. (I wouldn’t actually go bankrupt though because I keep tabs on my money, but that’s just between you and me. I’d love the chance to show it.)
Anyway, onto the bizarre…
As part of the bankruptcy filing in 1996, it was disclosed that Smith’s assets included:
… such non-essentials as a Russian lynx coated worth $43,343.75, six pot-bellied pigs and a doll collection estimated to be worth $12,000, according to the report.
Six pot-bellied pigs?!
Really?
I mean, the Russian lynx coat, is the kind of thing that’s par for the course in the life of a celebrity, even a doll collection is understandable… but pot-bellied pigs?! 6 of them!?
Also disclosed in that bankruptcy filing is this little nugget:
Smith “lost” $2.7 million in jewelry, though no information is given as to whether the items — including a three-diamond ring and a platinum necklace with 226 diamonds, valued at half a million dollars each — were misplaced or stolen.
How does one lose $2.7 million in jewelry?!
Honestly, these people have more money than brains… it just ain’t fair.
