If only Holyfield’s Real Deal Grill had done as well as the Foreman Grill, maybe he wouldn't be on this list.
In June of last year, it was reported that Holyfield’s $10 million mansion in a suburb of Atlanta would be auctioned off because he had defaulted on the loan he used to purchase the palace.
In a case of "kick him while he’s down," he was also being sued for falling behind on two months of child support, and a landscaping firm was demanding he pay over half a million dollars for services he had yet to pay. Eventually, Holyfield’s lawyers were able to stop the auction, and Holyfield kept his mansion. It’s a good thing, too, because otherwise they would’ve had to rename Evander Holyfield Highway, which sits just outside of his home.
In response to the firestorm from the media, Holyfield said, “I’m not broke. I’m just not liquid. I do feel kind of sad because things have always been positive and now everybody wants to jump on me like I'm the worst person in the world and I went out and blew all my money." So, things seem all fine and dandy for now. But with an electricity bill that reached $17,000 last December, stay tuned for more potential financial issues for Holyfield.
