Reality TV stars Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky are at the center of attention yet again – this time due to a hefty tax lien of $6,542. The official document, obtained by Page Six, reveals that California has issued the lien on their marital home in Encino. The news was first reported by the Daily Mail, indicating that the debt in question stems from 2022.
This power couple, who purchased their sprawling 10,000 square foot mansion in 2017 for $8.3 million, has been making headlines with their financial troubles amidst their separation. Richards, 55, divulged that Umansky, 54, moved out of the lavish seven bedroom, eight bath estate in May, opting for a West Hollywood condo worth millions. The new neighborhood will reportedly see Umansky rubbing shoulders with none other than Hollywood A-lister Matt Damon, who owns a unit worth $8.6 million.
Despite their lofty real estate investments, Richards and Umansky seem to have a history of financial woes. Back in April 2022, the duo faced a $13,707.47 state tax lien for unpaid taxes from 2020, which they managed to clear by July the same year. However, troubles seemed to follow them as Umansky’s UMRO Realty Corp, which houses The Agency, accumulated several more liens in significant amounts throughout 2022 and 2023.
With a global real estate empire under Umansky’s belt and plenty of properties in their portfolio, it’s clear that this separation is not just emotionally taxing but financially taxing as well. Despite their split, the former couple still shares multiple residences, recently acquiring a luxurious vacation home in Aspen and holding onto a property in La Quinta.
As Page Six reached out to representatives for comments, the reality stars remain tight-lipped about their financial setbacks. This news comes in the wake of Umansky’s public display of affection with 33-year-old actress and model Nikita Kahn, stirring up rumors of a budding romance. The duo were seen sharing a sweet kiss at the Mykonos airport, just before Richards jetted off to show support for musician Morgan Wade at her festival.
Amidst the drama of a lingering tax lien, real estate ventures, and speculated relationships, Richards and Umansky’s story continues to capture the attention of fans and critics alike. Stay tuned for more updates on this captivating reality TV saga.
