Rapper Ja Rule was sentenced to two years in prison for not filing his taxes. His failure to declare more than $ 3 million in revenue for 2004 and 2006 is the latest legal issues for the hip-hop star, who was already facing a prison sentence for a gun charge, according to Reuters. Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, is not the only celebrity to have legal problems. Some of the stars who have felt the sting of the IRS may surprise you.
Mark Anthony
It can be made headlines at the moment because of the break with Jennifer Lopez, but the singer got in hot water late last year. He was hit with a lien on one of his houses in New York for $ 3.4 million, according to Boston Herald. As bad as it sounds, it was not the first time Anthony forgot to pay his taxes. He also failed to file in 2007 as well, and ended up with a tax bill of $ 2.5 million. Maybe this time he learned his lesson, but JLo around to remind him, he can fall back into old habits.
Joe Francis
Creator of Girls Gone Wild franchise has seen more than his share of time in court in civil cases against the video for her empire, but he was also a run-in with Uncle Sam. In 2007, he was charged with two counts of tax evasion, the Los Angeles Times. Francis is not only the default of their taxes, has been falsely accused of a reduction of $ 20 million in operating costs, and hiding money in offshore accounts. In a way, Francis has managed to avoid prison anyway, but if his history is any indication, you will have more opportunities to see the inside of the cell.
Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage was in a lot of financial difficulties lately. He said his problems were caused by fund manager Samuel Levin, Cage said. Levin opposed the demand, saying the actor was living beyond their means, according to CNN. Cage apparently thought he could build extra money by falsely claiming their items as expenses Gulfstream business jet, says the Huffington Post. Finally, the "National Treasure" star was taken, and the IRS charged him with just under $ 1 million, the office of his production company with a similar amount.
Snoop Dogg
Superstar hip-hop should not have trouble paying their bills, but in 2009 he was sanctioned with a tax lien of only U.S. $ 284,053, as reported by The Hollywood Gossip. The lien was placed at his home in southern California. Perhaps his personal habits are the reason celebrities who "forgot" to pay the IRS. Everything seems to have resulted, Snoop is on tour for the summer in the United States and around the world.
Why is it that celebrities can not seem to pay their taxes? It may be due to the accountants and administrators, or may simply be that they feel they are above the laws that govern the rest of us. Ja Rule has a lot of jail time to resolve, but not the last star to respond to the IRS in court.
