TIDBITS® IS

GOING BROKE!

by Kathy Wolfe

• No, Tidbits isn’t bankrupt! But every year, for a multitude of reasons, millions of Americans file for bankruptcy protection. It’s not always Mr. John Q. Public who does this – many times it’s celebrities who “had it all” and lost it, or wealthy business magnates who made poor investment decisions. This week, we’re looking at some well-known people who have filed bankruptcy, sometimes more than once!

• In 1989, actress Kim Basinger bought herself a town, Braselton, Georgia for $20 million with plans to develop it. A few years later, after accepting a film role for “Boxing Helena,” she backed out of the movie. The studio promptly sued Basinger for $7 million. Shortly after paying the damages, she filed for bankruptcy and abandoned Braselton.

• Singer-songwriter Willie Nelson made headlines back in 1990 when the IRS seized his bank accounts and real estate holdings as security for the $16.7 million he owed in unpaid taxes. Nelson had channeled his income into a tax shelter that the IRS had declared illegal. He took the bull by the horns and recorded a new album appropriately entitled “The IRS Tapes: Who’ll Buy My Memories?” to raise money to pay his debt, one he eventually paid in full.

• Formerly a duchess married to Britain’s Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson ran up $8 million in debt from the time of her 1996 divorce until 2011. Ex-husband Andrew saved the day by loaning her money, and her creditors also agreed to take a smaller percentage of what was owed to them. The $10 million contract she signed as a Weight Watchers spokesperson may have helped out, too!

• Musician MC Hammer found out that an overly-lavish lifestyle can backfire. In the early 1990s, Hammer had a net worth of more than $33 million. Within five years, he had accrued $14 million in debt and filed for bankruptcy.

How did that happen? Hammer maintained a 200-person crew that cost him about half a million every month. He lived in a $30 million house with a 17-car garage, a bowling alley, and baseball diamond. He owned two private helicopters, luxury cars, airplanes, and a record company.

• During his heyday, professional boxer Mike Tyson was bringing down $30 million for a single fight! His career earnings were somewhere between $300 million and $400 million. In 2004, he was $38 million in debt, with $17 million of that owed in back taxes. He owed $750,000 to seven different law firms, and another $300,000 for limo services. Although he blamed dishonest financial advisors, his spending habits included mansions, over 100 luxury cars, extravagant jewelry, a $2 million bathtub, a $410,000 birthday party, and pet Bengal tigers, which cost about $1,500 a day to feed.

• Unpaid taxes do have a way of catching up with you. Just ask actor Nicolas Cage, who owed the IRS $13 million by the end of 2009. Cage wasn’t too wise with his $150 million fortune, purchasing an $8 million castle in England, where he never slept one single night, another castle in Bavaria, two New Orleans mansions, a $17 million home in Bel Air, and a $10 million Malibu beach house. A $7 million 40-acre private island near the Bahamas was followed up with a $30 million private jet to visit all his homes. Nine Rolls Royces were parked in his garage next to his Lamborghini and Ferrari, and 30 motorcycles. When Cage got in trouble, he began unloading his real estate, along with his cherished Action Comics collection that brought in a record $2.16 million. Lucky for Cage, he is still considered a Hollywood star who continues to land big roles, although most of his salaries go straight to his creditors.

• How did NFL legend Terrell Owens burn through his $80 million career earnings? Part of it can be attributed to the more than $50,000 per month in child support payments he makes to four different women, three of whom have filed lawsuits against him. He also cites unscrupulous financial advisors, who led him into risky real estate investments. No matter what the reason, it took Owens less than 10 years to squander an amount that could have supported him comfortably for the remainder of his life.

• Not everyone who’s gone through bankruptcy or financial troubles has been a big earner, nor have they all lived in our lifetime. President Abraham Lincoln declared bankruptcy in his 20s after his general store failed. When the store where Abe worked closed down, he saw an opportunity to open his own store, buying out other stores’ inventories on credit. After going broke, he repaid all his creditors, a feat that took 17 years. At least three other U.S. Presidents have filed bankruptcy – Ulysses Grant, William McKinley, and Thomas Jefferson, whose estate Monticello and its 120 slaves were auctioned off to pay his debt.

• Mark Twain, author of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn made a series of unwise investments that lost a great deal of money.

The most notable was a typesetting machine, a mechanical innovation that was to change the publishing industry. Twain invested $300,000 (about $8.2 million in today’s money) in the invention, but it was prone to breakdowns, and by the time its flaws were corrected, it had been made obsolete by the brand-new Linotype. Some poor decisions at the publishing house he owned further depleted his fortune, along with a large part of his wife’s inheritance. An honest friend and financier advised him to file for bankruptcy, then took charge of the remainder of Twain’s money, while Twain continued writing and lecturing. Although he wasn’t under any legal obligation to pay off all his creditors, Twain paid each in full.

• Several successful businessmen found their greatest achievements after their financial difficulties. Prior to founding the Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford had filed bankruptcy after his first internal combustion vehicle, the Quadricycle, failed to generate a profit. He had started the Detroit Automobile Company, but unfortunately, made the mechanics of the automobile his focus, while failing to properly market his creation. At age 40, he started over with $30,000, founding the company that lives on today. Henry Heinz’s first condiment company went bankrupt, but when he started over with his brother and cousin, they introduced tomato ketchup, and today Heinz is a $10 billion company that sells 650 million bottles of ketchup every year. Walt Disney’s first animation company, Laugh-O-Gram Studio, went broke three years before Disney formed the company that exists today. He nearly had to file bankruptcy again in 1937 after he dumped all his money into the making of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Fortunately, the film was a hit, and his finances were secure.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

CHARLES GOODYEAR Although he suffered through financial distress and bankruptcy his entire life, the name of Charles Goodyear lives on through history. Let’s see how much you know about this self-taught inventor and his work with rubber.

• The name of Goodyear is significant in New Haven, Connecticut, for more than Charles Goodyear’s inventions. In 1638, his ancestor was a founder of that city, and it was here that Charles was born in 1800. At age 14, he headed to Philadelphia to work as an apprentice in the hardware business, which occupied his next seven years.

• At 21, Goodyear returned to Connecticut to partner with his father in the business of manufacturing ivory and metal buttons and an assortment of agricultural implements.

Following his marriage, Goodyear moved back to Philadelphia, operating a thriving hardware store. However, his practice of liberally extending credit caught up with him, and the losses from non-paying customers led to his business failure. Because he was in the midst of perfecting and patenting several inventions, he refused to declare bankruptcy for fear of losing his rights to those inventions. As a result, he was thrown into debtor’s prison for failing to pay his debts.

• At 31, Goodyear first learned about gum elastic, or natural rubber, and began experimenting with the substance. He started out creating life preservers, presenting them to a New York rubber company. It soon became apparent that natural rubber froze hard in the winter and was a sticky mess in the summer.

Goodyear was determined to figure out a process to stabilize rubber.

• Cleopatra’s husband was her brother, Ptolemy.

• Melanie Roberts, a 41-year-old Ohio woman, was forced to have her left leg amputated. Shortly thereafter, while still recovering, she was shocked to receive a $600 bill for the funeral of her leg. Evidently, she was supposed to pay for the limb’s burial -and the bill was even broken down into the separate costs for the plot, the minister, the hearse and the gravediggers.

• The name “Alice” means “noble kind”; “Amy” means “beloved”; “Angela” means “messenger of God”; and “Amanda” means “lovable.”

• During the Muslim feast of Al-Adha, a sheep was to be sacrificed on top of a fourstory building in Cairo, Egypt. In a fit of terror or anger, the doomed sheep rushed the executioner, who then lost his balance and fell to his death.

• Ever wonder why so many coin banks are shaped like pigs? Here’s the story: In ancient times, a lump of clay was called a “pygg.” A clay bowl formed from this lump would often be used to hold loose change, and it was called a pygg bowl bank. According to legend, at a later point in history, a potter unfamiliar with the term received an order for several of these pygg bowl banks. Instead of the bowls, he made coin banks shaped like pigs; they became such a hit that they’re still around today.

• On March 24, 1765, the British Parliament passes the Quartering Act, outlining the locations and conditions in which British soldiers are to find room and board in the American colonies. The New York assembly refused to comply with the law.

• On March 28, 1774, upset by the Boston Tea Party and other blatant acts of destruction of British property by American colonists, the British Parliament enacts the Coercive Acts, which included closing the port of Boston and giving immunity to British officials in criminal prosecution.

• On March 26, 1804, President Thomas Jefferson attends a public party at the Senate and leads a crowd in consuming an enormous loaf of bread. The giant bread was baked to go with the remnants of an enormous 1,200-pound block of cheese given by a group of Baptist women two years prior.

• On March 25, 1958, Sugar Ray Robinson defeats Carmen Basilio to regain the middleweight championship. It was the fifth and final title of his career. Robinson is considered by many to be the greatest prizefighter in history.

• On March 23, 1962, Pakistan’s governor, Ayub Khan, gives first lady Jacqueline Kennedy a horse named Sardar because of their common interest in horses. In her memoirs, the first lady referred to Sardar as her “favorite treasure.”

She nicknamed the jet gelding “Black Jack.”

• On March 27, 1973, Marlon Brando declines the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in “The Godfather.” American Indian actress Sacheen Littlefeather attended the ceremony in Brando’s place, stating that the actor could not accept the award, as he was protesting Hollywood’s portrayal of Native Americans in film.

• On March 29, 1982, the University of North Carolina wins the NCAA men’s basketball championship with a 63-62 defeat of Georgetown University. With 15 seconds on the clock, Georgetown point guard Fred Brown accidentally threw the ball to Carolina’s James Worthy, mistaking him for a Georgetown teammate. Worthy dribbled out the clock.

• Goodyear was able to secure loans for his experiments, which started out with his working magnesia into the rubber, something that seemed to take away the stickiness. His first creation was rubber shoes, lined with flannel. But the stickiness returned, and his creditors withdrew their money. Another New York businessman who believed in Goodyear’s potential advanced several thousand dollars to continue the work, but the financial Panic of 1837 wiped out his entire fortune and once again, Goodyear was penniless. He and his family were living in an empty rubber factory, living on fish he caught in New York Harbor.

• Although living in poverty, Goodyear continued his experiments, adding different chemicals, such as nitric acid, lead oxide, and sulfur, then boiling the mixture. Finally, in 1839, the inventor had his breakthrough, when he discovered that heating natural rubber and sulfur created vulcanized rubber.

• It would seem that the tide had turned for Goodyear, but when he attempted to secure funds for his new venture, his previous financial difficulties made it tough to convince investors.

He continued in poverty, pawning his household goods, perfecting his process for five years before he felt confident enough to apply for a patent.

• Even with his patent secured, Goodyear’s life did not turn around, and he was plagued with troubles. Six of his 12 children died in infancy.

He was jailed twice for failing to pay debts, and when he died at age 60, he was $200,000 in debt. Fortunately, over the years after his death, royalties accumulated and allowed his family to live comfortably. Thirty-eight years after his death, Frank Seiberling founded a rubber company, which he named Goodyear Tire & Rubber in tribute to the inventor. Today, it’s a billion-dollar company, the world’s largest rubber business, but the Goodyear family derived no capital from it.

TSUNAMIS This week is Tsunami Awareness Week, so Tidbits is checking out the facts on this deadly phenomenon.

• The word “tsunami” comes from the Japanese language, translating “harbor wave.”

It’s not really one wave, but rather a series of ocean waves, called a wave train, that sends surges of water to the shore. Because tsunamis might resemble a rapidly rising tide, some refer to them as tidal waves, but this is an inaccurate term because tsunamis are not related to, nor generated by, tides.

• Tsunamis are also known as seismic sea waves, because they are most often generated by seismic activity such as earthquakes. Yet this term is also not entirely accurate because other forces can cause the waves, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, chunks of glaciers breaking off into the ocean, and meteorite impacts.

• The first wave of the series is typically not the strongest wave, and people are often deceived that once it has passed, the worst is over. The successive waves get bigger, stronger, and more destructive as they reach the shore. The time between the waves can last anywhere from a few minutes to about two hours.

• Tsunamis can travel across the sea at speeds up to 500 mph (805 km/hr), nearly as fast as an airplane. They can cross the span of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. As they hit shallower water near the coast, they may slow down but their height increases. Waves as high as 100 feet (30.5 m) are not uncommon. The effects are felt long afterward as the tsunami carries tons of salt which poisons the soil and ground water, contributing to hunger and disease.

• The Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire” is an area where tectonic shifts make volcanic eruptions and earthquakes common, generating about 80% of the world’s tsunamis.

• The U.S. state at greatest risk for a tsunami is Hawaii, where one occurs every year, with a damaging tsunami occurring every seven years.

The island of Hawaii is formed of five volcanoes, including the world’s largest, Mauna Loa. Four other states are at high risk – Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California. The costliest tsunami to hit the western U.S. and Canada was in 1964 following an 8.4 earthquake in Alaska. The 21foot (6.4-m) waves killed 120 people.

• A quake registering 9.5 occurred 100 miles (161 km) off the coast of Chile in 1960 and within 15 minutes, 80-foot (24-m) waves hit the coast.

Fifteen hours later, the tsunami hit Hawaii, and 22 hours after the quake, the waves struck the coast of Japan – 10,000 miles (16,093 km) away from the earthquake’s epicenter.

• One of history’s deadliest disasters occurred in 2004 when a 9.0 earthquake in the Indian Ocean released more energy than all of the earthquakes of the last 25 years combined. A portion of the ocean’s floor the size of California heaved upward, creating a tsunami that struck 14 countries, resulting in 290,000 dead or missing.

• More recently, a 2011 earthquake in Japan registering 9.0 caused a tsunami that killed nearly 16,000 and created property damage of $300 billion.
