(The Blaze/AP) Records show supermodel Christie Brinkley owes $531,000 in back taxes, and the IRS has filed a lien against her.
E! Online reports that per a filing with the Suffolk County Clerks Office in Suffolk County, New York, the Internal Revenue Service has taken out a tax lien on the 57-year-old beauty's $30 million Bridgehampton, Long Island, estate to tune of $531,720.
A spokeswoman for Brinkley says the star was surprised to hear the lien had been filed.
