In his recently released memoir titled Sonny Boy, Pacino explained that he had to make a profound career change after a shady accountant lost all his money in a Ponzi scheme. The accountant mismanaged Pacino's money so horribly that the actor saw his savings account go from $50 million to nothing.

Pacino would turn some heads when he appeared in the Adam Sandler comedy, Jack and Jill, but he admits he initially took it because he had nothing else.
