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