Mary J. Blige’s Home Now Has been Hit with A Tax Lien and notice slapped on the door of her apartment building about not paying rent. Why is This Keep Happening??
Mary J. Blige’s money woes include a notice on her apartment door about not paying rent
Mary J. Blige was recently hit with a $901,769.65 tax lien in New Jersey, where she owns a super mansion.
Blige is also being sued by Bank of America for not paying back a $500,000 loan she took out in 2002.
Blige is slashing the price tag on her Saddle River home ,which includes plenty of room for entertaining and relaxing, including an indoor movie theater, fitness center, gourmet kitchen and eight bedrooms.
The R&B diva has had the home listed for sale since 2011, dropping from an original asking price of $14 million to its current price at $12.5 million.
Blige paid cash and bought the 18,250-square-foot mansion in 2008 with her music producer husband, Kendu Isaacs. The couple is said to have paid cash for the home, however, the property taxes run nearly $100,000 a year
Here’s the 411 on Mary J. Blige’s financial troubles — they’re worse than we thought.
The “No More Drama” singer’s reported money problems have gotten so bad, she was
slapped with a notice on the door of her tony upper West Side apartment building after it
was discovered that she “had a rent-paying problem” last November. The luxe building, the
Ashley, boasts a basketball court, state-of-the-art gym and bowling alley.
“It was for not paying back rent,” said a real estate source who has leased apartments at the
building. A three-bedroom apartment at the Extell
Development site, similar to the one Blige was renting, rents for $9,000 to $12,000
monthly, depending on the view and amenities. Our source says the 42-year-old singer was
there for a little more than a year before the note was plastered on the front door of the pad.
It is not clear if Blige sorted out the problem with building management.
As to what could be rapidly draining her fortune, Blige has been fighting a series of copyright
infringement lawsuits. A music industry insider estimates this could be costing her upwards
of $1 million yearly.
Blige, whose net worth was at one point a reported $45 million, has dug herself into a huge
financial hole. In December, New Jersey filed a $901,769 lien against the singer. In
November she was sued for failure to repay a $2.2 million personal loan that she and
husband Kendu Isaacs defaulted on.
According to court documents filed in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan,
