Mel B has blown 50 million Spice Girls money just Rs 75000 accountThe singer, 42, attended court in Los Angeles on Friday to face ex-husband Stephen Belafonte, who she says tormented her with years of physical and mental abuse. Grace Jamra, representing Belafonte, said, "Their lifestyle was extravagant and rich. She wiped out all her Spice Girls money, approximately $50 million if not more."
According to The Sunday People, the singer`s British account Moneyspider Productions has 961 pounds (Rs 75,000), and was set up in 1997.
"They never had money at the end of the year to pay their taxes. All their community income was being spent and then some. In this marriage that would be Miss Brown`s income from the Spice Girls."
Jacalyn Davis, representing Mel B, spoke of their tax problems, saying they were "sustained through improvident lifestyle choices". Mel B, who is judging America`s Got Talent, married the film producer Belafonte in 2007.
