Marion Jones – Job Loss and Legal Fees
Los Angeles Times
At the height of her career, Marion Jones became the world’s first female athlete millionaire. Many still remember the former world track-and-field athlete winning three gold medals and two bronze medals at the 2002 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
Unfortunately, Jones definitely has a tarnished legacy after admitting to steroid use. Afterward, Jones lost her medals in disgrace. From there, Jones needed to file for bankruptcy in 2006. She had no choice but to sell off many of her remaining properties, including a $2.5 million mansion. Later, Jones would spend six months in prison for being involved in a check counterfeiting scheme. It seems she simply cannot stay away from that way of life!
