Cyndi Lauper

Another music legend on the list is Cyndi Lauper. She was born on June 22, 1953. She is an American singer, songwriter, actor and activist. Her career has been more than 40 years. Who wouldn’t know the iconic songs Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Time After Time, True Colors, and more? The 67-year-old star used to conquer the airwaves in the 1980s. However, her first band broke up, which badly affected her financial status, so she had to declare bankruptcy.

It might have damaged her credit score then, especially when she ended up in so much debt. Lauper found a way to make ends meet. She performed in bars, and her hard work paid off. She is doing much better today with a career spanning more than four decades. The singer-songwriter also remains to be relevant when it comes to the music scene.
