The second Globe was closed along with all of the other theatres in 1642 and, since it did not appear that any money could be made from it, was torn down in 1644 about two years later. The general closure of all public theatres in 1642 was due to the Puritan parliament which viewed theatre as a godless entertainment.
Several popular but wrong answers:
Plague? Wrong. There was a plague closure in 1606 but nothing like the dreadful two year closure of 1593-4, five years before the Globe was built.
Fire? Wrong. A fire did destroy the first Globe on June 29, 1613, but a new theatre was built on the same spot within a year, since we have records of its use the following June.

Where did William Shakespeare spend 5 years working for?
He bought a part of the globe theatre
William shakespeare then spent 5 years working for this theatre group and saved enough to make an important investment -buying a share in a theatre which one?
Shakespeare invested in the Globe Theatre in 1599, five years after he invested in the Acting Company The Lord Chamberlain's Men. The suggestion that he squirrelled away his money for those five years so he could buy a share in the theatre building is ridiculous, because, first, nobody knew five years earlier that the Burbages would need investors in the Globe since they had two perfectly good theatres already, and second, Shakespeare had a lot more money than he put into the Globe. In fact, two years before investing in the Globe, he spent a whack of money buying the second-largest house in Stratford-upon-Avon for his wife to live in.
