There are many people including former celebrities who have suffered from bankruptcy. The main reason behind this is their ignorance in management of the finance. Often their business managers are too inefficient to keep track on the finances and managing them. Thus it leads to bankruptcy which can get worse with time. First and foremost thing that one needs to do is to file a bankruptcy case.
Dionne Warwick has done the same. She has filed a case for her bankruptcy. After some legal proceedings and hearings, she was considered a lot. Undoubtedly, she is one of the best singers of that time and still she is considered as one of the most powerful female vocalists. Style InStyle. Politics Business Insider. Lifestyle Dirt.

With two children's books, a best-selling autobiography, a fragrance line, a new album and a current world tour to supplement her 50 years of showbusiness cheques, the question of Warwick's disappearing fortune is indeed baffling.
It is not the first time that money woes have surfaced; in , she filed for so-called "Chapter 11" protection from tax debts — a case that was resolved after she surrendered three cars including her BMW.
Mr Stolz said: "Just because someone is a well-known, prominent celebrity doesn't mean they're conversant in their financial affairs. They rely heavily on people and frequently wind up waking up someday saying 'Jeez, how did I get in this mess and how do I get out of it? In Warwick's case, the unnamed manager blamed for her financial troubles was fired years ago. Quite what she offered is unclear.
Successful artists commonly set up such entities - known as "loan out corporations" - through which to provide their services and reap legal tax benefits. David L Neale, a Los Angeles-based bankruptcy attorney who has studied Warwick's court filing, said: "If an entertainer's business people show to the IRS figures stating that the person's income is X amount and that there is Y amount available, then either the IRS buys into it or they don't.
It may be that there's more money, in the form of royalties or other income, that's paid to the loan-out company but which is not personal income to the entertainer. That may lead the IRS to say 'Wait a minute'. He added: "A bankruptcy filing is done under penalty of perjury and there's no suggestion that Ms Warwick has been anything less than honest. Intriguingly for a woman who only last October told an interviewer, "My mainstay is shopping. I love going down to Givenchy and the boutiques.
I don't shop for what I need, just what I want," Warwick lists her monthly clothing expenses as zero. She personally owns no property, Mr Stolz said. A home she used to own in Bahia, Brazil, was sold in , Warwick told an interviewer three years ago, though she has subsequently alluded publicly to living part-time in Brazil. She tried marriage twice - both times with the same man, William Elliot, a television actor.
They wed in , divorced in May , but then remarried three months later. They had two sons, David and Damon - both of whom now also work in the music industry - but divorced for a second time in All my life, the only man that ever took care of me financially was my father.
I have always taken care of myself," she stated in a interview. Mr Stolz described her as having been reluctant to take the bankruptcy route because she is a "very proud woman. He told a New Jersey television station: "Dionne's a very warm, wonderful, giving person. She's been extraordinarily philanthropic throughout her life.
Not only has she not accumulated great wealth, but she is now living hounded by the IRS. Warwick's work for good causes has been a major feature of her career. She was one of the first celebrities to become involved in the crusade against HIV and Aids, founding the Washington-based Warwick Foundation in the late s to fund research, healthcare and public education and preaching compassion at a time when Aids was still taboo. She served as both a UN ambassador for health and an ambassador for the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation and has raised millions of dollars for causes including children's hospitals, world hunger, disaster relief, music education and her old elementary school in East Orange — now named the Dionne Warwick Institute for Economics and Entrepreneurship.
In a poorly typed note posted to her official website, she tells fans: "i'm sure you have been made aware via the enternet that i have filed bankruptcy i am okay and don't want any of you to worry about this as with so many things in our lifetime objects that are sometimes unavoidable will crop up just keep a positive thought going around me and as i have been told on many occasions 'THIS TOO SHALL PASS. For you. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options.
Dionne Warwick is 79 and on fire. In she released two albums, kicked off a Las Vegas residency and won a lifetime-achievement Grammy award. This year she has already done a turn on the US version of The Masked Singer — the reality TV show where artists perform songs incognito — and a tour of Ireland and the UK is planned for autumn. Obscuring it would have been impossible, she adds. The shows are currently suspended.
After more than five decades of touring, performing like this must feel like a doddle. But she had been singing for her supper long before that. Her mother and maternal aunts and uncles toured the country as the Drinkard Singers; she and her sister Dee Dee formed the group The Gospelaires in their teens.
Went to school like everybody else did. Did my homework, and did the dishes as I had to. I had a normal life. She went to college, studying music at Hartt College of Music in Connecticut, and was planning to go into teaching. But her music career with The Gospelaires was beginning to take off. We did some things with Ben E King. Which ones stand out in her memory? Are you kidding me? They were stars. And subsequently, over the years, I made friends with all these people.
But I had the pleasure of meeting him and getting to know him.
