Alexis Bellino
Although Alexis Bellino is known for her luxurious life of prestige that we have all witnessed on The Real Housewives of Orange County – the reality is slightly different. The newly divorced television personality has been struggling financially for some years now, and in 2010 her and her now ex-husband Jim Bellino defaulted on their $4.6 million mansion.
To make things worse, her ex’s real estate company, Global Marine, Inc. ended up filing for bankruptcy that very same year. However, since her and Jim’s breakup, things might actually be “looking up” for the star – as she is expected to receive $16,000 a month in child support and spousal support following the divorce.
Lauryn Hill
Back in the late ’90s and 2000s, Lauryn Hill was one of the top reigning queens when it came to hip-hop and R&B music. However, the grammy-award winning artist had some difficulty when it came to paying her taxes and ended up in a bit of financial trouble.
From 2005 to 2007, the singer decided not to pay her taxes making the claim that things like “climate of hostility” and “manipulation” disturbed her creativity. Unfortunately, this resulted in her getting sentenced to three months of jail time as well as getting ordered to pay the IRS $554,000.
