King of Skull Island: King Kong
Not King of the Monsters (That honor belongs to Godzilla) but Kong certainly ranks close. In some ways he has a similar background to yours, he was living in the wilderness before civilization came calling, but was exploited financially more by humans. (Whereas you just blew all your money on wine, women and divorce) Kong never was the sharpest knife in the drawer and from day one when those humans convinced him he could become a star; they milked the gravy train as much as they could. After all monkeys plus movie always equal big bucks (Okay he was really an ape, but nobody cares about technicalities) so Kong being the biggest means he would bring in even more.
Kong did become very popular and famous, but he wasn't making nearly as much money as he should've been. That still wasn't enough to lead to his ruin, what did that was his self destructive personality. He knew he couldn't hold his fucking liquor yet he went and did it anyway which would always result in him paying out millions in reconstruction fees and his own hospital bills from multiple biplane wounds. While you've never been one to fit into "polite society" your normal size didn't cause you to commit damage on a massive scale when you got drunk. (Though there was that one time in LA when you were on a two week drinking bingeĀ )
There was also the fact if he thought some woman was pretty, he'd just grab her, which resulted in more legal trouble. He just had a hard time of grasping the concept of dating.
Finally all this trouble was too much even for his agents and all the other humans exploiting him to put up with and they abandoned him finding out that sticking with normal sized monkeys was much easier, so Kong's career was pretty much finished. He didn't even have enough money to go back to Skull Island, not that he would've been able to live there, since it got turned into an amusement park.
Things looked bleak for Kong until he struck lucky and Nancy took an interest in him and the two eventually married.
