Kanye West, Susan Sarandon, George Clooney and Russell Simmons — who visited the epicenter of the movement nearly every day since it began — were among those who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the protesters in Zucotti Park. (Photo: Craig Barritt/Getty Images)

Toni Braxton - How could Toni be broke with all those hits? The singer charged her financial problems to a bum record deal and mismanagement. Braxton owed $3.9 million and filed for bankruptcy in 1998. She sold her household possessions, including her two Grammys, to pay off creditors.(Photo: Gregg DeGuire/PictureGroup)

We Got Our Own Thang - Teddy Riley was raised in Harlem's St. Nicholas Projects and has been a force to be reckoned with since the age of five.

As a result of that, Teddy has become a major force in music and helped build Andre Harrell's Uptown Records –– Riley was responsible for some of label's biggest hits including Heavy D's "We Got Our Own Thang" and Guy's debut –– as well as his own legacy.(Photo: Adrian Sidney/PictureGroup)
