Eddie Murphy's Ex Blows Through Alimony

Although a check for $15 million would make nearly anyone feel happy, it is not the case for Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole Murphy. When the two they divorced four years ago after 13 years of marriage, Nicole opted to have a one-time payout of $15 million instead of monthly alimony payments.

What seemed like a smart decision at the time has taken a turn for the worse after Nicole's business investments also took a nosedive. She is now in debt and has been forced to take drastic moves to improve her financial situation. Her mansion is now for sale as the IRS is piling tax liens on her to the tune of $846,630. At this time she owes $5 million on her house and her landscaping company $60,000. At this point the money in her account is dwindling quickly.
