Teen Mom star Maci Bookout is making a cash grab as she owes the government some massive money in taxes.
Maci is earning money through the Cameo app, where fans can pay for personalized shoutout videos from the reality star, priced at $100 each. She has been promoting this service to her over 4 million Instagram followers, although it's unclear how much income she's actually generating from the app.
In addition to the Cameos, she's reportedly raking in money from her time on the show. Cheat Sheet revealed that she rakes in a cool $500,000 per season as one of the original cast members.
The reality TV personality and her husband, Taylor McKinney, are named in five unreleased liens, with the latest being the largest at a whopping $351,699, issued on June 6. Just two months earlier, another lien was imposed on her for $86,620. While Taylor is included in several of these orders, Maci is also independently responsible for some of the debt.
The Sun confirmed with a clerk that two liens were filed against her in February, amounting to $49,383 and $105,346. The couple's tax troubles date back to 2023 when a lien of $143,413 was set, which remains open and pending.
Although she owes money, Maci also has some hefty assets, including two properties in Tennessee one a sprawling 48-acre land bought for $339,000. Although this plot doesn't have a house yet, she resides in another property, a sizeable 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home. Not to mention, she's got a collection of Jeeps to her name.

"The fact is, my real life isn't that much different from what it would have been without MTV. I still live in Chattanooga and go to Wal-Mart and buy bread and milk."
