Nicole Murphy Blows $15 Million And Owes The IRS

Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife Nicole, who is currently engaged to former footballer Michael Strahan,  has burned through her $15 million divorce settlement. The NY Post reports the IRS has filed two liens against her for $210,957 and $3,731. She has also put her house up for sale for about $7 million. According to the National Enquirer:

“Nicole made some bad investments with the fortune she got from Eddie, and now she is in serious financial straits,” said a friend of the 42-year-old stunner.
Court records show that the IRS slapped Nicole with two liens for back taxes in November totaling $214,688.
That huge bill was on top of outstanding judgments against her for nearly $600,000 by a legal firm and another $60,000 demand for payment by a landscaping company. She also owes $5 million on her Los Angeles-area home.
“Nicole is overwhelmed by the mountain of debt she has piled up,” added the source. Nicole, who has five children with Eddie, invested in an Internet jewelry business, but the venture quickly failed and Nicole lost most of her money.” – Source

Seriously though, folks need to stop living beyond their means. Nicole may just be up a creek if Michael chooses not to assist her with her debt.
