Paris Hilton is one of the most famous celebrities in the world. She has been a fashion model, actress and reality star since her teens. She also has a successful perfume line.
Hilton is a socialite and model who has been spotted gambling in casinos around the world. Her gambling is mainly for fun, but she does win some money from time to time.

Her brand empire is a multi-billion dollar success story, with fragrances, skincare, handbags and makeup products all under her belt. She’s also an accomplished DJ and has over 50 boutiques worldwide.
Hilton’s career grew after her leaked sex video of her with Rick Salomon, dubbed “1 Night in Paris,” was released online in 2003. The tape catapulted her to international fame. She went on to host The Simple Life with Nicole Richie, a five-year reality show that gained 13 million viewers.
50 Cent
50 Cent is one of the most successful hip-hop artists of all time, and he’s also a huge celebrity gambler. He has a huge love for betting on sports events and was said to have put $2 million on Floyd Mayweather winning once!
He has also been rumored to lose a lot of money at poker and blackjack. It’s also been reported that he has got a little bit of a problem with cocaine addiction!
His childhood was tough, and he began selling drugs as a child in the streets of Queens. He was shot nine times but he never gave up on his dreams and went on to become a famous rapper.
He went on to form his own record label, G-Unit, and release a string of high-profile, no-bullshit gangsta rap. He is also a big businessman and has made many investments outside of music. He has a huge portfolio of clothing lines, PlayStation games and Vitamin Water.
Charles Barkley
Many people know Charles Barkley as a Hall of Fame basketball player who played 16 years in the NBA. He also spent a lot of time on sports media as a commentator and analyst.
However, he has another side to his personality. He is a very passionate gambler and has been known to lose large sums of money on various occasions.
In fact, Barkley once told a story about how he lost $2.5 million in just six hours of gambling. This was a big loss for him because he had already amassed a lot of money during his illustrious NBA career.
Since then, he has decided to control his gambling and have only bet moderate sums of money. This is something he is still doing today and is sure to do in the future.
Michael Jordan
The Chicago Bulls star, Michael Jordan, is well known for his love of gambling. He regularly frequents Atlantic City and spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single bet.
He also loves to place big bets on golf. He is a member of 12 private golf clubs and owns state-of-the-art equipment.
It is believed that Jordan’s passion for gambling started as a college student at North Carolina. He would bet with his friends on sports and other popular games.
However, this pastime soon turned into an addiction that ruined his relationships and landed him in rehab. His ex-wife, Richards, said that Sheen could spend $200,000 a week on sports betting, but often lost more than he won.
Charles Barkley also has a gambling problem, though he isn’t as bad as his fellow basketball legend. He has lost millions of dollars to his addiction, and he has reportedly lied about it.
