For a number of years, Kim Richards was in hot water with the state of California. In 2018, The Blast reported that Kim owed more than $118,000 in unpaid state taxes — $52,068.70 for 2013 and $66,689.31 for 2014. In subsequent years, she failed to chalk up the money. As of 2021, she still hadn’t paid off her tax debt from 2019 and 2020, which added up to over $90,000, per The Sun.

As Kim struggled financially, her sisters stepped up to the plate. In 2015, it was revealed that Kim briefly stayed with Kathy Hilton, as she couldn’t afford her own spot. She eventually moved into a two-bedroom apartment, a notable shift from the luxurious homes of her past. As it turns out, Kyle Richards bought the $520,000 place back in 2015, according to another report by The Sun. The outlet confirmed that Kyle was covering the apartment, which allowed Kim to stay there free of charge.
