Whitney Houston seems to have trouble with the IRS ... she needs to pay off lots of taxes & needs to find a way to do that!
Whitney owes tens of thousands in back taxes on her $6 million mansion, which faces foreclosure if she doesn’t pay up!
Thus, Whitney is auctioning off hundreds of her costumes as well as a $300,000 see-through piano in an attempt to raise enough money to save her mansion.
Among the items on sale are 13 of Houston’s Dolce & Gabbana bustier bras adorned with animal prints & sequins; four velvet bodysuits with “WH” logos; six black stretch pants; several gold, black, white & red evening dresses; & 16 wardrobe cases.

In addition, Houston is selling off musical instruments used in her stage shows over the years, including pianos, keyboards, drums, synthesizers, speakers & amplifiers.
Among the more unusual items are a slot machine, a leather whip & a chair described as “Whitney’s throne.”
