Mary
J. Blige's financial miseries may have multiplied -- atop the $900k she
allegedly owes State of New Jersey, TMZ has learned MJB has been slapped with a
$3.4 million bill by the Inland Revenue Service (IRS).
The
IRS filed a federal tax lien against the Grammy winner, claiming she failed to
pay all her income taxes for the years 2009 ($574,907.30), 2010 ($2,203,743.53)
and 2011 ($647,604.60), totalling $3,426,255.43. That’s close to ₦550million!
The
State of NJ says MJB still owes $901,769.65 in back taxes. Blige is being sued
for allegedly defaulting on a $2.2 million bank loan and her charity is facing
a lawsuit that claims it took out a $250k loan and never paid it back.
It blows my mind how artists can make so much money and still end up in so much debt! I make a small salary, and I am about to sell my annuity to make some extra cash. If I made as much as Mary J. Blige I'd be sure to save some of my earnings and pay the appropriate taxes.
