Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick

This power couple is two of the most influential people in Hollywood. Kevin Bacon has even been named one of the best actors who has never won an Academy Award. That may be the case, but his films have mostly turned out to be blockbusters. Kyra Sedgwick, whom Bacon has been married to since 1988, is an equally excellent actress, with a Golden Globe to her name. She is also noteworthy for her role as Madeline Wuntch on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

The two, however, suffered adverse financial losses when they fell into the schemes of financial advisor Bernie Madoff who ran the biggest Ponzi scheme in North American history. Losing part of their savings was a big setback, but they found justice when Madoff was eventually arrested. Bacon and Sedgwick also saw through many positive things and focused on their children, health, and home as a way of coping.
