UPDATED NOV 17, 2018

Mel B has shockingly revealed that she was left with a little less than $1,000 in her bank account after her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte took over her £80 million fortune.

In her new autobiography 'Brutally Honest', the former Spice Girl talks about how she was abused by Belafonte and then all her belongings, including luxury properties, collections of art and furniture, were reduced to a meager bank account and a suitcase full of clothes at the end of her marriage, reported Daily Mail. Describing her past in her book she says, "In the past 20-something years of my life, I have made more than £80million. When I met my second husband [Belafonte], I had a house and a loft apartment in LA and a good career. When I left him I walked away with $936 in a bank."
