39. Ultimate Nullifier

This one is going to get a little weird. The Ultimate Nullifier is a part of Galactus, so much like him, it looks different to different people. The general consensus is that it looks like a little motorola cell phone. Whatever it is or does, Galactus is afraid of it. I can only think of one reason you'd be afraid of something that was part of yourself - if you had a big, you know what. Anyway, enough about that.

Generally Galactus keeps this thing with him, but he's let people borrow it in the past. He gave it to a guy named Quasar to defeat a guy named Magus, but that backfired and it worked against Quasar. It tends to float around the Marvel universe, sometimes back with Galactus and other times not, which they explain by our old friend Abraxas. Remember that whole situation where the reality was reset and Abraxas disappeared? That might have something to do with things bouncing around. You can't mess with reality.

Not all celebrities have fame and fortune, some are just famous – and in a ton of debt. They came from rags to riches, then went back to rags. Whether they’ve filed bankruptcy, ended up in court, or just can’t stop spending, celebrities mismanage their money just like everyone else. They just hide it well.

50 Cent coined the term “wanksta,” then “partied like it was his birthday” until he filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2015. The rapper was said to be anywhere between $10 million and $50 million in debt. In 2016, a federal bankruptcy court judge in Connecticut approved a plan for the founder of G-Unit to pay his debts back. He was able to get his bankruptcy discharged in February of the following year.

Following a 45-year-long career in Hollywood, acting in more than 70 films, actor Gary Busey found himself in more debt than he was worth. In 2012, it was reported that Busey owed between $500,000 and $1 million worth of debt, but only had $50,000 to his name. The 74-year-old actor owed money to hospitals, banks, the L.A. Waterworks District, and even a storage company. He filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy that same year. Despite his longstanding career in Hollywood, Busey's net worth is now only $500,000.

Burt Reynolds is still worth five million dollars, but his battles with debt date back more than 20 years. Between bad investments and a pricey divorce from actress Loni Anderson, the 1970s superstar had to deal with over $10 million in debt and decided to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1996. While testifying in a 1994 custody hearing, the South Florida native said he spent $40 million getting through his divorce.

The former Hollywood bad boy, Charlie Sheen owes the IRS nearly $5 million. But that's not all. In 2016, his net worth was reportedly still as high as $150 million, but he was nonetheless $12 million in debt at the time – including mortgages, legal fees, and taxes. That same year, Debt.com reported Sheen owed nearly $300,000 on an American Express card alone.
