There is no public evidence that anyone named Sarah Vaughan Williams owes money to Facebook. The question appears to mix two different people:

  1. Sarah Vaughan – the legendary jazz singer – was once in debt of about $150,000 , but that debt came from her husband’s gambling and spending, and the resulting tax trouble was with the IRS , not Facebook.
  1. Sarah Wynn-Williams (sometimes written as Sarah Wynn‑Williams) – a former Meta/Facebook policy executive – is involved in a legal dispute with Meta over her memoir and a gag order. Reports say she could face a $50,000 fine per breach of that order, but this is not framed as a debt she “owes” Facebook in the sense of a loan or bill; it’s a potential penalty if she violates the court order.

Why the name is confusing

The name in your question, “Sarah Vaughan Williams” , does not match either person exactly:

  • Sarah Vaughan (1924–1990): jazz singer, “The Divine One,” never associated with Facebook/Meta debts.
  • Sarah Wynn-Williams : former Facebook/Meta executive, currently in a lawsuit and gag-order dispute with Meta, with possible $50,000 fines per violation, but not a stated outstanding debt to Facebook.

It looks like the query may have unintentionally blended “Sarah Vaughan” and “Sarah Wynn-Williams” into one name.

What we actually know about any “Facebook debt”

  • For Sarah Vaughan :
    • Debt: around $150,000 due to her husband’s gambling and spending.
    • Creditor: not Facebook; the house was seized by the IRS for unpaid taxes.
  • For Sarah Wynn-Williams :
    • No confirmed current debt owed to Facebook/Meta.
    • Potential liability: $50,000 per breach of a court order banning criticism of Meta, if she violates it.
* She is suing Meta, claiming the arbitration and gag measures are not legitimate, not that she owes them a fixed sum.

Bottom line

As of the latest available public information (up to mid‑2026), there is no known amount that “Sarah Vaughan Williams” owes to Facebook. If you meant Sarah Wynn-Williams , the situation involves possible $50,000 fines per breach of a gag order, not a confirmed debt. If you meant Sarah Vaughan , her debt was historical and unrelated to Facebook. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
