Mel B Squandered Spice Girls Fortune

Now Mel is claiming she squandered her Spice Girls fortune during their marriage..

From The Daily Mail
Former Spice Girls star Mel B has wiped out her multi-million fortune after leading an 'extravagant' lifestyle, a court was told during a bitter divorce battle.
The singer, 42, attended court in Los Angeles on Friday for the first time to face Stephen Belafonte, who she says tortured her to years of physical and mental abuse.
Belafonte, who claims his income is zero, is asking for backdated support totaling $71,581 in wages, $2,728 in perks and $118,000 in spousal support each month.
His lawyer, Susan Weisberg, asked Judge Lawrence Riff to order the sale of the couple's Los Angeles home if necessary. It is currently on the market for $8 million.
Jacalyn Davis, representing Mel B, spoke of their tax problems, saying they were 'sustained through improvident lifestyle choices'.
'They never had money at the end of the year to pay their taxes,' she added. 'All their community income was being spent and then some.
'In this marriage that would be Miss Brown's income from the Spice Girls.
'She wiped out all her Spice Girls money, approximately $50 million if not more.'
