Wayne Newton Then
Wayne Newton, a vocalist, has been one of the most well-known acts to come out of Las Vegas, Nevada, for decades. He was a great commodity in his peak, with songs like “Daddy, Don’t You Walk Too Far” and “Years” appearing in the Billboard Top 100. Perhaps his most famous song is “Danke Schoen,” featured heavily in the iconic 1980s film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Many of the 1970s’ biggest stars, including Lucille Ball, George Burns, Bobby Darin, Jack Benny, and Danny Thomas, supported Wayne Newton throughout his career.

Wayne Newton’s personal life hasn’t been perfect, and his assets have been a complete mess, in addition to his ever-expanding obesity. For most of the 2000s, he was probed for various forms of financial misconduct, and it all came to a climax in 2012 when he declared bankruptcy. From Wayne’s perspective, the worst is over, and he’s back in his former house, having reached an agreement with his creditors. But it isn’t all despair and gloom. Mr. Entertainment is very involved with causes that raise funds for diabetes treatment. That’s wonderful!
