Whitney Houston had just $29k in her bank account?

It has emerged Whitney Houston had just $29k in her bank account while having debts of more than $4m.

The late singer's financial situation was disclosed during her divorce from Bobby Brown in 2007, and it showed how she had managed to blow many of the millions she had earned during her career.

But while the star, who sold more than 170 million albums, had blown vast swathes of her fortune, she still managed to leave assets worth around $6m to her daughter.




The information has emerged from an income and expense declaration filed by the I Will Always Love You star, and according to RadarOnline the documents also revealed that she had a life insurance policy worth only $300k.

The Grammy award winning singer stated she had $40k in cash, $225k in stocks and earned in excess of $1 million for performances.
But it was her real estate situation that truly underlined how she was in a financially precarious situation.
Her assets included one property in New Jersey which was worth $6.5 million, but she also she owed $3.247 million on the estate.
In addition she owned a townhouse in Atlanta, Georgia, where daughter Bobbi Kristina now lives, which was worth $1.244m.
However the property was far from paid off, as she owed $1,046,603 on the home.
The singer's other assets included the life insurance policy, which was worth $312k, and $1.8 million dollars in jewelry and art.

Amazingly her retirement account was worth only $226, however her recording contract is listed as confidential, as it was considered separate property due to a prenuptial agreement she and Brown had.
Bobbi Kristina is Whitney's sole heir, and the pop idol left everything to her.
With a total of $10,242,931 in various assets, and debts totaling $4,294,014, in theory it leaves her with an inheritance of $5,948,917.

Linda this is misleading ....... This account was made public in 2007 when she was going through a divorce with Bobby ... Lawyers are know for shifting money around and leaving little money in the main account so your ex spouse has no claim . There is no way her only account had 29k, she had to be paying mortgage and property tax.....

Dont believe all the gossip tabloid and copy copy paste for your blog

This story is probably not true.... note it states "during her divorce from Bobby "............ Couples move money from main account when going through a divorce . Even our corrupt leaders too show us small account in public and hide the money in other account

daily mail is not a credible source ............ will take this with a pitch of salt . Daily mail wrote some weeks ago that she was lesbian later they said she was having an affair. Daily mail then said she was broke then it said Whitney left 20million fortune. The stupid website can not make up it mind..........lol
Beside this declaration was made in 2007 during a divorce. Not credible , Black people hide money when going through a divorce

Linda, we know you need page views but this is in bad taste. You yourself know that this report is dishonest. How can someone pick a 2007 statement and report it as if it happened in 2012? HOW? Please mind yourself. You are not known to report rubbish news. Biko.

Cocaine has consumed the money.

If this was from a 2007 report, I'd like to think her financial status is even worse. She was heavily on drugs, hadn't done any work since then until an album that tanked, probably still responsible for a multitude of relatives. All the same, I hope bobbi kristina is responsible enough to manage whatever funds, and not tow the line her mother did. RIP whitney

Linda, the truth is Whitney has a lot of fans in Nigeria, we r still grieving her loss, i ve not even accepted the news of her death; yes, its that bad for me. Most of the comments?attacts here are not directed at you, we r simply put 'SAD'. I believe GOD knew/saw she was trying so hard.I come here often n i enjoy u guys so much, i ve been following Whitney's story religiously, we all have our challenges n have d luxury of our privacy but pple like Whitney did'nt. Enough of the negative press, did anyone notice she get more hugs n kisses dn anyother celeb? how about her smiles pple? I looooove you Nippy. Goodnite.
