I love financial stories, this one is a disaster:

Halsey Minor, founder of CNET Systems is down to his last $50 million and is filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on debts of $100 million. Blew it all on mansions, horse farms, art and many bad investments that had nothing to do with his expertise in software.
That is an awful lot of money to just piss away. I could fill the rest of my days with adventure, champagne, and ladies and still have like $1.7 billion to pass along... maybe a little less if you get lots and lots of cars and a sports team or two...
