Wow.

Her stock may not be as high as it once was around her Notorious K.I.M. era -- but since then she's recorded two albums, made cameos on numerous songs and starred in her own reality series. Seems like such a luxury item would be nothing for her to pay off.

What makes it more quirky is that I believe the car was actually given to her as a gift from then boyfriend, producer Scott Storch.

Scott Storch is having a lot of money problems, so this is probally his issue not Kim's


The rumors of superproducer Scott Storch having financial troubles continue.

Last month, Storch was sued by a record label owner in Los Angeles, claiming the producer borrowed $100,000 in 2003 so his home wouldn't go into foreclosure and never paid him back. He sued, saying Storch now owes him $500,000 -- $100,000 for the unpaid loan and $400,000 for four tracks he was supposed to produce as a part of the loan (valued at $100,000 a piece).

Now, Scotty seems to be still hurting for cash. His yacht, named Tiffany, has recently popped up on Ebay. The 1995 Norship/Davenport, which was purchased in '95 for $11.9 million, it up for auction. In the item's description, it says "owner bought her and got short on money."

We're not sure if this yacht still belongs to Storch, but it used to, we're sure of that. Due to the recent reports of the producer having troubles with his finances, it seems to fit. The boat was previously valued by Rolling Stone at a cool $20 million
