Not quite a famous bankrupt, but famous person's father.
Saw a programme about Hilary Devey (Dragon's Den) and she recounted the tale of her father's bankruptcy - back in the times when furniture and some household items were taken.0 -
One more for the list (though maybe infamous rather than famous) Jim Devine, one of the MP's jailed over his expenses.0
-
Time to bump again - and also add Kodak, La Senza and Peacocks to the list.0

it seems like a genuine bankruptcy as well,as opposed to a number of famous people that have just been remiss in handling their affairs and the petition jump starts them into sorting it outHi, im Debtinfo, i am an ex insolvency examiner and over the years have personally dealt with thousands of bankruptcy cases.
