These days, Wesley Snipes is just as famous for fighting the IRS as he is for fighting vampires on screen in the Blade franchise.

After earning nearly $40 million during his career peak between 1996 and 2004, Snipes was convicted of tax evasion in 2008 and sentenced to federal prison in 2010. He spent nearly three years in prison and was fined $5 million for willfully failing to file millions of dollars in tax returns.

After his release in 2013, the IRS moved to collect $23.5 million from him. (His offer to pay just $850,000 was rejected.)

The IRS may not have been the only source of his money troubles. The New York Post reported in 2009 that Snipes was a victim of an alleged Ponzi scheme.

Snipes continues to act, including 2021’s Eddie Murphy vehicle, Coming 2 America. His net worth now sits at $10 million, according to WealthyGorilla.
