Need A Date? How About 30 In One Night?
Marian Wright Edelman: Still Hungry in America
It appears Diana Ross' finances may be 'Upside Down' due to her current discord with property taxes on her Greenwich, Connecticut residence.
The legendary music icon's attorney, Melissa Klauberg, recently told the town's Board of Assessment Appeals that Ross' $7.3 mansion is overvalued by the town at $14.4 million, stating that it hasn't been renovated in over 30 years, according to published reports.
Klauberg, who attended the Board of Assessment Appeals meeting on March 4, asserted to the five board members that it's unreasonable to stand up in the attic of the 12,562-square-foot mansion. "It's nothing spectacular," Klauberg said. "Would you want to get into the house?"
The Academy Award nominated star of 'Lady Sings the Blues' wants the town to lower the excellent grading of the interior of her estate in addition to lowering the value on the four acres of vacant land she owns on her neighboring waterfront.
According to various reports Ross is not asking for a specific amount to be taken off the assessment of the mansion, which is currently at 70 percent of full market value.

Really people help her out and leave her alone .
I wonder if anyone out there in the world think that when they Die even 10 cents you will take with you when you leave this place? so work together and help her out and let it go. USA we have helped other nations for over 60 years and then some. out people are in trouble so lets help our own country out extend UMPLNT and lets get back to work. lets stop counting the days but make the days count. peace to all.

Sound like Melissa Klauberg, is hating on Diana Ross.....and also being prejudice....and jealous.......it never seem to fail that people do not like to see Black folks have something.....they love to see Black doing bad...this lady is a trouble maker and has some jealousy and bias issues.....
