Robert’s next run-in with the law occurred in 2014, about the same time that stories about WeWork began to bring up Rebekah Neumann’s involvement with the company, per Bustle. Robert was once again charged with not paying his fair share, and this time, it was the Internal Revenue Service that came after him. The Daily Mail reports that Robert claimed he made $101,401 on tax returns filed for 2007, resulting in a $45,114 payment to the government. In addition, he claimed that he made $93,137 in 2008, meaning he owed the feds $44,926. But in reality, Paltrow made much more than he claimed.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Robert failed to report nearly $4.8 million in taxable income for 2007 and 2008, which meant he underpaid the federal government almost $800,000 in income tax. Esquire reports that in 2014, he pleaded guilty to the charges.
