Lionel Richie apparently owes the federal government a big sum of money. The soul singer is $1.1 million in debt for the income tax leftover in 2010. A court document obtained by TMZ stated $1,130,609.11 to be exact.

Richie is worth an estimated $200 million and can easily pay the IRS. However, he has been slapped with a lien which allows the country to take away his possessions if he doesn't pay any sooner.

Editors' Pick

Richie, father of reality star Nicole Richie, has kept his income streaming. He has a recurring role on "The Voice" as one of the mentors this season and will be a permanent judge on a new singing competition called "Duets". His latest album, titled "Tuskegee", was released in March, featuring 13 duets of his biggest hits.
