Lindsay Lohan is perhaps the most financial unstable celebrities around, and she hardly makes a secret of it. Her lavish lifestyle and erratic career only adds to the problem. It was reported back in 2012, that Lindsay had sent a bizarre email to talent agencies, asking them to hire her for personal events like weddings or other occasions.
