Celebs Who Completely Failed At Their Second Career

No one is immune from the cult of celebrity—including celebrities themselves. The rich, bored, and famous often find themselves convinced that they can do absolutely anything, believing that their superpowers will propel them to greatness. Many venture out into secondary careers, and more often than not, they fall flat on their handsome faces. Don't worry, though: the rich can afford a few bad investments. Here are few celebrities whose egos are still bruised from failed business ventures.

One might not be inclined to trust a self-proclaimed Nature Boy with finances, but Ric Flair presumed that thirty years in the ring gave him enough relevant experience to open his own loan company, just like how years of working at Joann Fabrics prepares you for neuroscience. Flair's loan company launched in 2007, but Flair was already embroiled in multiple lawsuits regarding his failure to repay his own debts. By 2008, the business was deemed illegal under United States law, as it was operating without a license. Never get a loan from a guy who's proud of how much he can bleed.

When you want to look rich, but don't want to seem like you actually earned any of your money, pay with the Kardashian Kard! Announced in 2010, the Kardashian Kard was going to be a pre-paid debit card which preyed on teenage girls with no knowledge of how money actually works. Because of the public outcry surrounding the card's insanely high fees for everything from having the card to making balance inquiries, the Kard was cancelled before it even came out. Because, you know, you can just get a free card from a real bank that does the same stuff.

If you add together the review ratings for Kazaam and Steel, you get a combined score of 5.5 out of 10, which is still a pretty miserable movie. This is the summation of Shaq's "acting" career, which is ten feet of horrible smashed into a 7-foot tall, emotionless monster. In between ruining movies, Shaq recorded five albums' worth of questionable rap music. While the first, Shaq Diesel, went platinum because of morbid curiosity during pre-download days, his follow-ups tanked and were only met with critical indifference.

The African lungfish can secrete a thick layer of protective mucus around its body as protection from both dehydration and dangerous predators, which have little interest in eating a giant sea booger. Much like the lungfish, living booger James Franco surrounds himself in an impenetrable shell of narcissism, through which no shame can pass. The movie star has dabbled in both mediocre paintings and aimless fiction, neither of which would be worthy of attention were it not for him playing Green Goblin Jr. in Spider-Man a couple times. Critics have mostly reacted to his non-acting pursuits with indifference, and the rest are sycophants.

You know when you're in a restaurant and the kitchen door swings open, and you see a human that should absolutely not be around food manhandling your poultry? That man opened a restaurant called Flav's Fried Chicken, and it lasted for four months. Unlike most celebrity tie-ins, the restaurant used Flava Flav's personal recipe, but it wasn't enough to keep the food joint up and running. Taking a bite out of Flav's corn niblets couldn't have possibly been that appealing anyhow. We'll have to ask Tiffany Pollard.
