Well, because you read this, there is no doubt that you know how popular Chris Tucker used to be. A comedian and an actor, Chris, was once at the top of the mountain in his profession. The highest paid actor in Hollywood in 2007 was the achievement he could be proud of.
Some of his best known roles are at F. Gary Gray’s Friday where he plays Smokey, and detective James Carter which he plays in the film series Rush Hour Brett Ratner. It would be true to say that the latter was the best role, the best known.
Rush hour made him famous and that was the reason for him to be the highest paid actor in Hollywood. The step with Jackie Chan is a big hit and triggers trilogy after the initial success. Tucker saw the opportunity to make it easy – that’s what he had done. After demanding 20 million dollars for his sequel, he was given his desire. Then, for the third film, he managed to negotiate the contract of two 40 million films with a new row cinema. Of the 40 million dollars, 25 is his salary for the film Rush Hour 3.
When you hear that someone was once the highest paid actor in Hollywood and is actually still a decent figure in this industry, you might assume that he is quite rich, that his clean wealth is quite stable.
Well, that is something we can’t say about Chris Tucker because he has a fair problem with all types of debt. In other words – the financial situation was devastated.
This actor faces confiscation at his home in Florida which is worth around 6 million dollars and measuring around 10,000 square feet. Therefore, he ended with IRS chasing him because he owed 14 million dollars. That’s for the period 2001 to 2005.
The mortgage on it is quite large – 4.4 million dollars. He said that he did not generate enough income at the time and that he could not pay his bill.
Today, his net worth is around 3 million dollars, although you will find some information that he has negative net worth. It was only the IRS number chasing him.
Everyone faces several ups and downs in their lives. Chris Tucker is a perfect example of it. The father of someone is still a good actor and still roaming in the industry, waiting for something that will bend his wallet again.
There was a rumor that he was in conversation with Ice Cube to arrange a new Friday film. That is something that will help his career, no doubt. Smokey is one of his most famous roles.
If there is a rush hour 4, Chris Tucker might be the happiest man in the world because his financial situation will take a big turn to be better if it finally happens. We will see if there are these ideas that live in the future.
