For a star as massive as Judy Garland, you would assume she would have a massive net worth that matched this success. And in a way, she did, but it was short-lived. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Garland was only worth $40,000, or $300,000 in today's dollars, at the time of her death. But what happened? Even with different wages at the time and the inclusion of inflation, this doesn't seem right. Well, it wasn't.

Celebrity Net Worth explains that Garland was actually worth much more than this, but she had money troubles throughout her life that led to tax debt. When she died, her estate owed a lot of money in tax debt, so a lot of money went to this effort to pay back her taxes. They also auctioned off some of her belongings to raise money to cover this debt (via Biography). Frank Sinatra even contributed money to this effort.

Throughout the course of her career, Garland made about $10 million, which comes out to $100 million when you account for inflation (via Celebrity Net Worth). Other interesting money facts about Garland include that she made $500 a week while filming "The Wizard of Oz," her estate's debt at the time of her death was $4 million, and that she made $9,649 total for "Oz," which is $190,000 today.

Judy Garland didn't have an easy life, and her death wasn't easy on her family, personally or financially. Now, the actor rests easily somewhere over the rainbow.
