13. Stephen Baldwin

It appears that of all the Baldwin brothers, Steven is the least successful. Or he’s simply unlucky.

Stephen is an American actor, director, producer and author. He is known for his roles in “Threesome” (1994), “The Usual Suspects” (1995), “Fled” (1996), “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas” (2000), and “The Flyboys” (2008).

He’s also appeared on television reality shows, such as “Celebrity Big Brother” 2010 (UK) and “Celebrity Apprentice.” He is also known for being the youngest of the Baldwin brothers, for Christian evangelism, and for his legal troubles.

Namely, in December 2010, Baldwin filed a $3.8 million lawsuit against actor Kevin Costner over oil-separating technology that was used to help solve the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In March 2013, Baldwin pled guilty to failing to file income taxes for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. He agreed to pay $300,000 within a year, or he will be sentenced to five years’ probation and have five years to pay the money.

Stephen filed for bankruptcy in 2009 along with his wife. They owed $2.2 million in back taxes on New York property that was only worth $1.1 million. The same year another of Baldwin’s homes in the state was also taken away from him. In December 2012 he was also arrested for tax evasion to the tune of $350,000.
