It costs a lot to be Dionne Warwick. The “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” songstress filed for bankruptcy through a federal court in her home state of New Jersey last week, claiming that while she brings in nearly $21,000 in monthly income, she spends all but $10 of it on expenses.
The documents also state that she only has $25,500 in assets and owes more than $10 million to the IRS. The need to file for bankruptcy, Warwick’s publicist Kevin Sasaki said in a statement sent to omg!, was thanks to “negligent and gross financial mismanagement” during several consecutive years in the 1980s and 1990s.
Though the actual overdue back taxes have been paid, according to Sasaki, Warwick owes the mind-blowing amount in accrued penalties and interest.
“In light of the magnitude of her tax liabilities, Warwick has repeatedly attempted to offer re-payment plans and proposals to the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board for taxes owed. These plans were not accepted, resulting in escalating interest and penalties,” continued Sasaki.
Los Angeles-based bankruptcy attorney David L. Neale, who isn’t involved with Warwick’s case, but has studied her filing, tells omg! that it’s very likely the singer could walk away with a clean slate, since her tax obligations reach so far back that they would most likely be considered dischargable. Though other parties she owes could ostensibly sue her for payment, of the $10.72 million Warwick’s filing states she owes to creditors, only about $500,000 is owed to parties other than the IRS
