Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Abdul-Jabbar is another NBA star that lost reasonable sums to investment fraud. The 7-foot-2-inch legend played for Milwaukee Bucks and L.A. Lakers, winning about six titles. A Sports Illustrated report stated that Abdul-Jabbar lost his multi-million dollar Bel Air mansion to a fire incident and lost more fortunes in a series of bad investments. He later filed a $59 million lawsuit against his business manager, Tom Collins.
