According to Page Six, John McEnroe’s kid, Sean O’Neal, was very close to being broke. Just because you’re a celebrity kid doesn’t mean you have an elegant and lavish lifestyle. Although his dad and mom have astounding net worths, he did everything on his own.

Sean was an LA-based photographer, and he had set up a GoFundMe page on Mar 2, 2016. He asked the public for $10, 000 donations for his upcoming photo exhibition. But the main problem was it never existed. Even if Sean’s GoFundMe page stated that money would benefit a show, his now ex-manager, Barbara Assante, admitted to The Post of no confirmed exhibit. Sean said that Assante deceived him, returned $858 raised, and fired her as well.

He also stated on GoFundMe that the operation he had performed at USC’s Keck Medical Center left him ‘in debt’ and hadn’t paid for the procedure. Perhaps he had to pay over $30,000, even with insurance. He was on the verge of being broke.
