History knows many examples of the fact that talent can not be bought for money. True, understanding of this comes only after failure.
Parents of these celebrities sincerely believed in their children. But those for various reasons, expectations did not justify, and multimillion investments were simply wasted.
1. Hilary Duff
Her first truly successful role was Lizzie Maguire in the sitcom of the same name. Thanks to the project, Hilary became a television star and was able to start a successful musical career. It would seem that the path to glory is laid. But alas, most of Duff's attempts to become a world-wide star have failed. Shot only comedy "Wholesale cheaper." A good income brought "Cinderella Story", but critics did not like this film.
From the desperation of Hilary had to return to television. In the big movie, the actress is also removed, but she is mostly given only secondary heroines. Do not ask and music career Duff.
2. Kira Plastinina
For today, the debts of Kira Plastinina brand are about 500 million rubles. For the first time about Cyrus - at that time the 14-year-old daughter of a successful Russian businessman Sergei Plastinin - heard in 2007 in the spring, when her first style studio opened. Brand promoted very actively. In Kira Plastinina there were popular at that time participants of the "Star Factory", and boutique visitors were presented with expensive gifts every now and then.
In the fall, Paris Hilton was invited to promote the brand. It is rumored that this guest Plastinina cost two million dollars. But the arrival of a secular lioness has borne fruit - the brand began to develop quite actively. By 2011, branded stores were already about 120 pieces - in Russia, the former CIS countries, the near abroad. In 2012, it launched its own production. And in 2014 there were 279 boutiques of Kira, including in America, Britain, Italy, Saudi Arabia.
Plastinina appeared in public in the company of such stars as Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Georgia May Me Jagger. Alas, later it turned out that it was just a thought-out advertising move. In fact, Kira "was friends" with celebrities for a certain fee, but it did not bring any benefits and did not raise sales.
The real state of affairs was opened only in 2016. The general director of the brand told about it to the world - Igor Mukhachev. He said that Kira Plastinina had never brought a profit. "Best" results were losses of 93 million and 133 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Until 2015, all the main shareholder Plastinin compensated. When the businessman cut off the financing, the brand had to be declared bankrupt.
The main star of the Kiru trademark, bankruptcy, seems to have upset little. Plastinina finished her studies at a prestigious American college. And, as far as the press knows, she has not remembered her unprofitable hobby a long time ago.
3. Taylor Lautner
Fans of the saga "Twilight" remembered him thanks to the role of Jacob. For many girls, his hero became the object of dreams and adoration. But the directors did not notice anything outstanding in it. Chris Weitz, who shot the second film, even wanted to replace Lautner with someone else - more impressive and talented. But apparently, the authors of the picture decided not to upset the fans who fell in love with this Jacob. Yes, and Taylor tried to justify the hopes - to the second part of the saga, he significantly podachalsya, and in his body of muscles was 13 kg more. However, this did not help - critics recognized him as one of the worst actors of his time.
After "Twilight" Lautner starred in the thriller "Chase." But this work was not given to him either. After it, the producers finally became convinced that serious roles in expensive projects are not for Taylor.
4. Alexa
She became famous for her loud appearance at the "Star Factory - 4" and the novel with Timati. The name Alexa - Alexandra Chvikova from Donetsk - was on hearing. The girl dreamed of fame from childhood, and the father-businessman willingly supported the daughter's undertakings. Soon after the breakthrough, he presented Alex with a two-room apartment in Moscow - it's not worthy of the future celebrity to constantly rent hotel rooms ...
But hopes did not materialize. At first, Alexandra did not have a relationship with her first producer - Igor Krutym. Then she quarreled with her new producer - Yana Rudkovskaya, and then did not work well with Viktor Baturin. All this made the girl disappointed in the show business, and Alexa returned to her parents.
Today Alexandra is most interested in active sports, gym and fun pastime. Chvikov still continues to record covers of some hits, but does it exclusively for himself, and further Sasha's microblogging records do not go away.
5. Tori Spelling
The daughter of media tycoon Aaron Spelling gained fame due to the role of Donna Martin in the famous youth television series "Beverly Hills, 90210", which she was remembered and liked by fans. Only Spelling herself did not like her facial features, apparently, and the actress decided on the plastic. The result was not the best. Tory ceased to be like herself, but at the same time she did not turn into a beautiful beauty. Not impressed by the transformation and producers - prominent roles actress after plastic do not offer.
6. Vlad Topalov
Blond from the duo Smash !! sunk into the soul of many young fans. Together with Sergei Lazarev, Vlad acted in the "Neposedah." His own project Topalov thundered in 2002, when a couple of cute guys won at the "New Wave" in Jurmala. Producer and director of the duo was Vlad's dad - Mikhail Genrikhovich.
Unfortunately, in 2004 the project ceased to exist. More precisely, Smash !! existed, but only in Vlad's face, Lazarev began a solo career. Apparently, the Topalovs did not last long: in 2005, the senior stopped funding the group, and the younger tried to perform solo.
Only in 2008, Vlad confessed that everything had ruined his addiction. Having thought about it, the singer got rid of addiction, began to record songs again, to shoot clips, to participate in film projects, but he still did not manage to get to the top of glory.
7. Britney Spears
Her career developed very rapidly. In the world there was probably no such person who did not hear Britney hits. The army of its fans numbered billions of people - not every young singer can boast of such. Spears began to enjoy her fame and turned the wrong path. The singer had to be treated for alcoholism, overcome the separation from the child, she spent a lot of time with psychiatrists.
At some point, Britney could stop, take on the mind and go back to the work. Her studio work and performances are even in demand, but of course, once again climb to such heights, Spears failed and is unlikely to succeed.
8. Lena Zosimova
It shone in the 90's. You can not call Lena a failure. Rather, she just was not lucky. It is rumored that the father of Zosimova, the owner of the BIZ-TV channel Boris, even planned to attract Michael Jackson's child to the promotion. Pop geniuses wanted to invite ... for filming in Lena's video. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the crisis did not allow these plans to be realized.
After stabilizing the situation, Zosimova tried to return to the stage a couple of times, but times had changed, her creativity had ceased to be in demand, and Lena decided to start realizing herself as a good housewife.
