In spite of her high net worth, she has fallen on some financial difficulties. In recent months, she is working to reorganize her funds through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. One priority for the star is holding on to the Alpine, New Jersey mansion that is home to her and her beloved daughter. The home is valued to be worth at least $2 million and Lil Kim has fought to prevent it from being sold off to creditors. Because of her net worth and the home and other assets that she holds, Kim should be able to emerge from the bankruptcy proceedings and resume her successful career. She continues to release new music, and has discussed how her faith is helping her to bravely weather this storm. It is clear that Royal Reign is a great source of strength for her, as she wants to provide a safe, secure, and stable life for her daughter. 

Kim is very involved in causes working for AIDS/HIV awareness and research, and has also appeared at a number of Pride events and fundraisers supporting the LGBT community.
