Lindsey Vonn owes $1.7M in Taxes

[easysurfer]

$1.7M. Wow. Hope she has lots of endorsements to cover the bill. Otherwise, she might end up being another celeb going broke:

She's going downhill fast.

Same person?

I guess a lot of celebrities have money coming in from so many different sources that they forget to claim all of it. Earlier today I saw a link that listed 39 celebrities that have tax liens against them. The worst of which was Nic Cage. He had a tax lien as high as $12M but has now paid it down to "only" $6M.

Oh yeah, she also won some gold medals too.

Who is she ?

I have no idea who she is either.

 

[Meadbh]

She is an Olympic champion in downhill skiing. Check her out on Wikipedia.

 

[mn54]

her soon to be ex husband was also her manager. wonder if the two have a connection as to why they are getting a divorce?

 

[powerplay]

Who is she ?

That was my question also. I'd never heard of her until reading this thread. Now I know.

Is she still competing? I seem to recall she had a pretty bad accident a while back.

Once again, the moral of the story is no one should be more interested in the well-being of your finances than thine own self.

 

[Danmar]

Good for her. Nobody knows the whole story and it's easy to criticize. The Canadian skiers hated her she was so good.

I've been looking for a hot, fast woman. :>)

Can you imagine the reaction if the genders were reversed?

I wished I owed (and paid) that amount to the IRS ...

Could you estimate my income?

Well darn, I was going to pick up the tab for her. Oh well, I guess I will have to win her over with my good looks and charm.

Scratch yourself and belch when you say that...

It gives you an idea of how much money there is in the endorsements business. She makes $3 million dollars per year. Shaun White makes $8 million per, and Kim Yu-Na makes $10 million. (from U.S. Paywizard.org - Salaries of Shaun White, Kim Yu-Na, Lindsey Vonn, Ted Ligety, Apolo Ohno). Sharapova $24 million.

Vonn made $6 million a few years ago.

However, she did not have a pre-nup in her marriage.

So, when her divorce goes through, I bet she'd be paying alimony.

I wonder, would the courts see that he'd be entitled to 1/2 the share of her loot while she won the gold, especially since he was her coach.

 

[ronocnikral]

damn. near the same age and grew up in the same town. I guess us inner city boys don't have a chance at those suburb girls.

you think they'll slap alimony on her? they were married in '07. Don't you have to be married for a certain amount of time?
