Will Smith

When he was young, Will Smith wanted to become a famous rapper so he formed a rap duo The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff. You recognize his rap name since it is the title of the popular ‘90s show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Around this time, Will experienced financial trouble because of his extravagant expenditures. He almost needed to hire a bankruptcy lawyer after most of his remaining money was used for his unpaid taxes.

Good thing he landed bigger roles in various blockbusters to get back on his feet and become one of the highest-earning actors today. It is because of Will Smith’s famous roles as Agent J in the Men In Black series, Muhammad Ali in 2001 biopic Ali, Mike Lowrey in Bad Boys franchise, Deadshot in Suicide Squad, Captain Steven Hiller in 1996 film Independence Day, and Chris Gardner on true to life story film The Pursuit of Happyness. He also voiced Genie in Disney’s 2019 live-action movie adaptation of Aladdin, which was his highest-grossing film.
