Unlike most of the winners on this list who were nothing short of selfish, Janite Lee was the polar opposite. This South Korean immigrant won the lotto in 1993 and had $18 million to her name. She then moved her family to a gated community and spent the next ten years of her life making a commitment to charity. In fact, so benevolent was she that she was invited to share dinner meals with Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Unfortunately, she also didn’t know when to stop giving. She eventually filed for bankruptcy and had a measly $700 left in her bank account. She is also up to her ears in debt.
