Back in 2001, the actress was found guilty of theft and shoplifting merchandise at the Saks Fifth Avenue store. She was blamed for stealing items worth $5,560. The merchandise as reported were a $750 worth Marc Jacobs sweater, a few Frederic Fekkai hair adornments worth about $600, and a cashmere pair from Donna Karan worth $80.

Initially, many refused to believe that Ryder had stolen such items. Some thought that it was a misunderstanding, however, in 2013, the actress herself confessed her crime. She stated that she went through a rough period and that mishappening had helped her crash to the ground.

After the incident, Ryder was found guilty of theft and had to serve around 480 hours of community service. This also ruined her career as a leading actress.

Ryder's present net worth is estimated to be around $18 million USD, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
