Let’s Look Back on Some of the Biggest Athletes Who Suffered Due to Unwise Decisions

DEBI THOMAS

Debi Thomas was once the most famous figure skater in the United States, a trailblazer who changed the face of American figure skating. She even became the only ice skater of African-American descent to bag a medal in Winter Olympics figure skating.

Once considered a prodigy, she has since undergone two divorces, one of which cost her most of her assets. Thomas even lost custody of her son due to some habits, with her finances taking a hit with all these major life events. This is why she had $2k in value left in her Olympic medal and only enough funds to live on at around $500 per month.
