Sometimes Rich People Need Money, Too

 

Over the summer, the IRS quietly placed a tax lien of nearly $6.26 million on Cage´s New Orleans properties after the actor flat-out failed to pay income taxes in 2007 (the same year, incidentally, that he raked in some serious back-end profits from Ghost Rider and National Treasure: Book of Secrets).

As if that weren´t bad enough, the IRS obtained a second lien over yet more unpaid taxes, this time for income earned between 2002 and 2004. That lien, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported back in August, was for an additional $360,545.84.

Not surprisingly, Cage put two of his properties on the market this spring and was forced to sell off one of his many castles. The recession hits hard, folks.

MonkeyJar will take one of those castles off your hands, Nick!
