Between her two reality TV shows, clothing store DASH, and LA Laker husband Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian has still somehow managed to score herself a tax lien. Last time I checked, reality TV, luxury retail, and basketball all pay pretty well, but apparently just not well enough. Either that, or Khloe is just another celebrity who thinks messing around with the IRS is no big deal.
Constantly in the limelight, Khloe has been spotted spending thousands on shopping trips down Ocean Drive, hosting outrageous late night parties, and wining and dining at the finest restaurants. There were even reports that her present to Lamar for the Lakers’ championship win was a $400,000 Rolls Royce, to which she claims against. Regardless, money has never appeared to ever be an issue for Mrs. Kardashian, or Mrs. Kardashian Odom, to be exact.
So what’s the problem? According to Access Hollywood, the State of California filed a tax lien against Khloe on July 28, 2010, for a total of just under $18.5 thousand dollars. The amount stems from unpaid back taxes and their consequential penalties and interest, which date back to 2007.
Apparently Khloe has paid the lien, or actually, paid the lien a long time ago, but her accountant never filed it. With a new accountant at her disposal, the lien has reportedly been paid off, and it’s only a matter of time before Khloe’s name gets cleared, or so she claims.
