Christie Brinkley's $531K Tax Lien An 'Error'

Christie Brinkley, 57, promises that she will quickly repay the $531,000 she owes the IRS in back taxes on her mansion and primary residence in Bridgehampton, New York.

"I was surprised to learn of the tax lien filing and took immediate steps to rectify this matter, which for most people is a private matter," Brinkley said in a statement, reports the New York Daily News. "I discovered the tax lien was the result of an error. My taxes will be paid in full by Wednesday, December 7th and I expect the tax lien to be released immediately thereafter."

Brinkley, who is reportedly worth over $80 million, was trying to sell the estate for years before recently taking it off the market. "I regret not paying more attention to my accounting, but I have been, and remain focused on my whole family as both my parents navigate serious health issues," she said.
