Are NeNe Leakes' riches a result of not paying her taxes?

The IRS has accused the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, 48, of refusing to pay $824,366.01 in back taxes from 2014, reports the Daily Mail.

If Leakes, whose real name is Linnethia Monique Leakes, doesn't pay up, the IRS can start seizing her assets and property in order to settle the debt. The lien was handed down in a Georgia court on July 22.

As the newspaper points out, 2014 appears to have been a good year for the reality star. In addition to appearing on the hit Bravo reality series, she competed on “Dancing with the Stars” and launched the NeNe Leakes Collection on the Home Shopping Network.

Earlier this month, it came out that rapper Iggy Azalea owed the IRS $269,980.20 in unpaid federal taxes from 2015, in addition to $391,056.55 from the previous year.
