Kelly Clarkson<\/strong> is still recovering from her bitter divorce from Brandon Blackstock<\/strong>. One report says she blew her fortune on lawyers and repairs. Gossip Cop<\/strong> investigates.<\/p>\n

\u2018Kelly\u2019s Ranch Money Pit!\u2019<\/h2>\n

According to the National Enquirer<\/em>, Clarkson is digging into her $45 million nest egg just to keep her Montana ranch above ground. Literally. A sinkhole is ravaging Clarkson\u2019s property, and the money is apparently starting to dry up. Complicating matters is her divorce, which finally came to an end this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s spending more than $80,000 a month to maintain the property,\u201d a source says. \u201cShe wants to do the right thing and keep on the ranch stuff and not lay off people. But it\u2019s hurting her bank account\u2014especially now that she won\u2019t have her cushy $14 million-a-season salary from The Voice<\/em> to lean on.\u201d<\/p>\n

While The<\/em> Voice<\/em> may not be Clarkson\u2019s only revenue stream, the outlet points out that the cost of lumber and labor is high. Friends are apparently urging Clarkson to sell the ranch, but after what she went through to get it, she\u2019s supposedly refusing. The source concludes, \u201cShe really loves the place, and the kids do, too. She fought Brandon so hard to keep it and can\u2019t let it go now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Kelly Clarkson Going Bankrupt?<\/h2>\n

The Enquirer<\/em> attempts to handwave Kelly Clarkson\u2019s diversified income streams because they don\u2019t match its narrative. She may be taking a year off The Voice<\/em>, but she\u2019s got a decade\u2019s worth of those salaries in savings. There\u2019s the Kelly Clarkson Show<\/em>, her royalties from music, and a furniture line at Wayfair. The $45 million estimate feels a little low for Clarkson<\/a> when you factor in her career earnings.<\/p>\n

A small sinkhole like the one on Clarkson\u2019s property could cost up to $20,000 to fill. Fortunately, she\u2019s a millionaire. She\u2019s good for it. If Clarkson is super strapped for cash, then she can just go back to The Voice<\/em> or go on tour. Now that Blackstock\u2019s finally out of her life, good days are ahead.<\/p>\n

A Torrid Reputation<\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t trust the Enquirer<\/em> because of its rough track record with Clarkson stories. Gossip Cop<\/strong> debunked its article about Clarkson desperately trying to Clarkson desperately trying to hold onto her fortune. She handled her business in court, so that story was totally inaccurate. Before that, it claimed Clarkson\u2019s drinking was out of control. There\u2019s no proof to back that up.<\/p>\n

Paying for maintenance on a ranch is expensive, but Clarkson\u2019s a millionaire. People live comfortably with a lot less than she has to spare. She could easily afford to never work again and be just fine.<\/p>\n
