The former world number one’s unbridled splurging habits saw him squander his fortune, which was estimated at a whopping £127 million, and he was declared bankrupt in 2017.
He was jailed on 29 April 2022 after Becker desperately attempted to salvage what was left of his fortune by hiding his assets and loans.
The star owed creditors almost £50million over an unpaid loan of more than £3million on his estate in Mallorca, Spain.
He then transferred around £390,000 from his business account to others, including those of his ex-wife Barbara Becker and estranged wife Sharlely ‘Lilly’ Becker.
Boris also failed to declare his share in a £1million property in his home town of Leimen, Germany, hid a bank loan of almost £700,000 – worth £1.1million with interest – and concealed 75,000 shares in a tech firm, valued at £66,000.
The star – who got a two-year suspended sentence for tax evasion and attempted tax evasion worth £1.4million in Germany in 2002 – was found guilty on April 8 2022 of four Insolvency Act offences between June and October 2017.
Lilian, who is a political risk manager, has stood by Boris through thick and thin throughout his trial and sentencing.
The pair tied the knot in September during a three-day affair in Portofino, Italy, in an outdoor ceremony with beautiful gardens and celebrated in the evening with a four tier buttercream cake laden with white roses.

The couple spared no expense for the lavish ceremony, with Lilian looking incredible in a strapless ruched bridal gown and veil, while Boris opted for a two piece suit.
Lilian spent much of her youth in Rome where she attended a private school before studying at the University of La Sapienza.
She first came to London to study at the School of Oriental and African Studies, where she earned her master’s degree at the age of 25.
He reportedly proposed to Lilian at Milan’s Cathedral back in 2021 – but any hope of a fairytale wedding was cut short by the impending prison sentence.
She was a constant presence by his side while attending court hearings and even blew him a goodbye kiss when he was jailed last year and blasted by a judge for showing no remorse.
After the prison release the couple who were based in the UK relocated to Milan.
A source told The Sun: ‘Boris is incredibly grateful to Lilian for staying with him through “The hardest time’ of his life”.’
‘He said, “She saved me, and I will never forget her for that. She is the woman of my new life!”‘

Boris has been twice married before. He married Barbara Feltus in 1993 and the couple had two children – a son, Noah, who was born in 1994, and a daughter, Elias, born in 1999.
In December 2000 the couple announced they were separating. A year later, Becker was forced to concede that he was the father of Russian model Angela Ermakova’s daughter Anna following a High Court battle.
In 2002, Boris was convicted for tax evasion and attempted tax evasion in Germany.
Seven years later, he announced he was engaged to Dutch model Sharlely ‘Lilly’ Kerssenberg. She gave birth in 2010 to a son, Amadeus. They announced their separation in 2018.
