She managed to climb the ladder of success when she was just in her late teens and achieved fame, but eventually, everything went downhill.
Many deem Lindsay Lohan to be one of the most beautiful and amazing women out there. She managed to climb the ladder of success when she was just in her late teens and achieved fame, gathering love and support from the fans all around the world.
After the release of Mean Girls in 2004, The Parent Trap actress had become crazy rich. She appeared on The Masked Singer Australia as well and her income soared from 1 million US Dollars to a whopping 7.5 million US Dollars.
She earned more than 20 million US Dollars by acting in several successful movies such as The Canyons (2013), Freaky Friday (2003), Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), Liz and Dick (2012), Just My Luck (2006) and Georgia Rule (2007).
Moreover, in 2008 she even launched her own fashion line called 6126 which–according to CNN was named after the birthday of Lohan’s idol; Marilyn Monroe’s (June 1, 1926).
She was on the cover of the January-February 2012 issue of Playboy, Lohan, which earned her 1 Million US Dollars—and in August 2013, she appeared with Oprah Winfrey for several interviews and earned another 2 Million US Dollars.
Now that we have talked about Hollywood’s once highest-paid actress’s favorable outcome, let’s get into the dirty details and know more about her unfavorable moments.
In 2007, Lindsay Lohan was targeted by the paparazzi who followed her and captured every drunken night she had spent at the nightclubs. The actress who was 21-years-old at the time was later admitted to the hospital during the shooting of Georgia Rule that starred Lindsay herself, Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman.
“She was overheated and dehydrated,” Her delegate said at the time but eventually, the truth had been revealed.
James G. Robinson who is a studio executive said in a letter that went public: Lohan was “irresponsible and unprofessional.” He also mentioned several other things like, “various late arrivals and absences from the set,” and, “we are well aware that your ongoing all-night heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called ‘exhaustion’.”
Lohan’s fame dropped rather drastically at that time and she was labeled as an insurance liability. It must have been so difficult for her and yet, she didn’t want to give up so soon. Lindsay Lohan was given small projects and had been cast in the TV series Ugly Betty (2006) as a minor role. Additionally, she hosted a documentary about human trafficking in India for BBC.
But just as everyone has their good sides and bad, people apparently have focused on Lindsay’s bad side more often. Being a woman of wealth at such an early age, she pampered herself by buying expensive cars, handbags, designer clothes, and enjoying meals at extravagant restaurants, sometimes partying at three clubs in one single night.
How much more could she ruin her life? Drugs. It seems that she didn’t forget to leave that one out of her checklist. In 2010, according to a Business Insider article, Hollyscoop reported on how much Lohan had spent on narcotics.
The article stated, “There were reports a few days ago back that Lohan was allegedly spending about $5,000 a week on drugs, but our ‘source’ insists that this figure is reportedly closer to about $3,500.” “The last few months Lohan was allegedly ‘spotted’ narcotics because she’s in debt to the people who are supplying her, but no one’s really giving her a hard time because she’s Lindsay Lohan. The source added that Lohan is apparently in $30,000 debt for narcotics.”
The story doesn’t end there. Between 2007 and 2013, Lohan was arrested a few too many times for DUI’s, altercations, shoplifting, and reckless driving. In 2010, she was sentenced to 90 days in jail for not attending her court-ordered weekly education classes. Just as her appearances in court racked up, mugshots and rehab stints began to put her bank account into jeopardy.
Lohan was also reported to have a $61,000 rehab bill, she owed a Nevada tanning salon $40,000, $233,000 in unpaid federal back taxes and $90,000 in unpaid limousine fees. In the end, the IRS seized her bank account to revert the funds.
Lohan’s net worth dropped dramatically from 30 million US Dollars to 100,000 US Dollars. And the money which she had earned on the Oprah Winfrey’s show was used to pay back taxes, IRS debts and rehab fees.
“I was 18, 19–with a ton of money and no one really here to tell me that I couldn’t do certain things. And I see where that’s gotten me now, and I don’t like it.”
“I would look up to those girls…The Britneys and whatever, and I would like, ‘I want to be like that,” She added.
In 2012, Lohan tried to make a comeback with Liz and Dick, her salary was roughly 300,000 US Dollars. Concurrently, as of 2020, Lindsay Lohan’s net worth is not more than 800,000 US Dollars.
Lindsay Lohan has now appeared as a judge on The Masked Singer Australia and we can see that after all that she’s been through, she is now carefree and in a good place where she can genuinely smile and tell the world that she’s back in control. The season is set to have a second series and Lohan will continue to be on it.
