Eddie Murphy's Ex-Wife Nicole Deep In Debt

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

We've been following the real estate dealings of Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole for a while. This week the National Enquirer reported that Nicole is deep in debt after spending the $15 million settlement she received from Eddie when they divorced in 2006. The story says that the IRS has hit her with five tax liens totally $846,630.

We've seen her Calabasas mansion on and off the market since 2007. Most recently when we made it an estate of the day back in 2009 it was listed at $8.495 million but a quick peek at the MLS shows that it is now listed at just $5.95 million. The Enquirer says that Murphy owes $5 million on her Los Angeles-area home. She also gets child support payments from Eddie Murphy. She has started a business called Friendship, Love and Peace and currently dates former NFL player Michael Strahan.

Eddie Murphy is also still trying to sell off a home that has been on the market for a long time. His New Jersey home, Bubble Hill, was once priced at $30 million but is now down to $12.75 million.
