Lauryn Hill’s debt that cost her millions, homes

Key points

• Lauryn Hill, a former member of the Fugees, faced foreclosure on her New Jersey home in 2018 over nearly $1 million in unpaid property taxes. In 2012 she was charged after failing to file federal tax returns on income earned between 2005 and 2007.
• She was later jailed for three months after paying nearly $970,000 in back taxes. The New Jersey Division of Taxation has since placed two tax liens on her totalling more than $892,000.
• Her estimated net worth is now $500,000, and she still earns through tours and festival appearances.
