Ian Somerhalder 'sold everything' to get out of 'eight-figure debt'.

In an interview for E! News this week, The Vampire Diaries star recalled how his world "all came crashing down" several years ago, after he made "eight figures of personal guarantees to a bank" for an undisclosed energy company. "I left an insanely lucrative career in television after financial upheaval from building a business that I didn't build properly. And due to fraud, it put my wife and I into an eight-figure hole," he claimed. Ian didn't offer an exact figure of debt or explain how he ended up in financial distress.
