The luxury music festival promoted by supermodels and influencers descended into a disaster-relief-tent nightmare in the Bahamas, spawning two competing documentaries and criminal fraud charges that sent McFarland to prison.

Donald Trump's premium mail-order steak brand launched at The Sharper Image electronics stores, a distribution strategy so baffling that the entire venture collapsed within two months and became a permanent punchline.

The action star's "Asian Experience" energy drink in flavors like Cherry Charge and Asian Experience managed to insult multiple cultures simultaneously while tasting, by all accounts, absolutely terrible.

Ye's private Christian school in Simi Valley abruptly closed amid his antisemitism controversy, leaving families scrambling after the institution operated with no accreditation and required parents to sign NDAs.

The A-list-backed restaurant chain burned through $250 million in investor money, filed for bankruptcy twice, and proved that hanging movie props on walls is not a sustainable business model no matter how famous the owners are.

While Simpson later built a billion-dollar fashion empire, her edible beauty line of candy-flavored cosmetics designed to be licked off skin was a cringe-worthy misfire that confused consumers and disgusted beauty editors.
