Starting running back for the Buffalo Bills, Pro Bowl selection
Estimated lifetime earnings: $20 million

Henry has 9 kids by 9 different mommas. He was just indicted on charges of cocaine trafficking. He was also just jailed after trying and failing to temporarily reduce one of his nine child-support payments, stating he could no longer afford to pay $3,000/month. He also fell $16,600 behind in payments for his child in Frostproof, Fla. His estimated yearly payments for the children are roughly $170,000.

To top off his pain, he just blew a $25 million contract with Broncos because of the narcotics trafficking thing and failed drug tests.
