Celebrity Foreclosure: Porsche-Driving Former Golden Girl Marion Jones

Here’s a new item we’ll try to bring you from time to time: Celebrities in Foreclosure. Today, the pride of Thousand Oaks, the Olympic Golden Girl, Marion Jones.

As Lance Pugmire reports in L.A. Times, Marion Jones is down to her last $2,000, and last year a bank foreclosed on her $2.5 million cheateau-style "dream home" in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Jones — who was seen driving a Porsche SUV last year — says she’s not sure where the money went. "Who knows? I wish I knew. Bills, attorney bills, a lot of different things to maintain the lifestyle."

Jones hires lawyers for a lot of different reasons. She sues people, they sue her. She is accused of cheating by allegedly using performance enhancing drugs, then she sues to defend her name.
