According to the Daily Beast, “tax liens filed in Orange County [California] … show that Avenatti has personally owed at least $1.2 million in federal taxes on top of the corporate debts.”
Avenatti’s ex-wife, the Daily Beast reported, said Avenatti’s legal earnings paid for a lavish lifestyle that include “a multimillion-dollar home in Newport Beach, international and domestic travel via private jet, and a collection of art and exotic cars.”
