Wesley Snipes

Wesley Snipes used to be a big name in the late 1990s to the early 2000s. In 1997, he won the Best Actor Award at the 54th Venice Film Festival for his performance in One Night Stand at New Line Cinema. He was behind the success of the Blade trilogy. The 58-year-old star already started doing movie series long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe conquered the big screen.

But despite the fame and success, the 58-year-old star still ended up having financial problems. According to reports, just like other stars, West also tried to trick the tax system.After making millions from the numerous movie credits he had back then, he filed for false tax returns. This move came with dire consequences. He was put to jail for three years and even ended up owing the IRS a whopping $17.5 million in taxes. In the past, Snipes didn’t have any problems with money, but those days are now gone.
