Sammy Davis Jr. was talented in many fields. His voice made him the majority of his millions. Davis was a part of the Rat Pack group with others like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, but as many artists do, Davis fell victim to drugs. Drugs weren’t his only problem; he also lived too lavishly.
The international star passed away in 1990 with throat cancer, and that’s when his estate got sold. It was sold it due to a 5.2 million dollar tax bill and because he was in thousands of dollars of debt.
