What is Chris Tucker's net worth and salary per movie?

Chris Tucker is an American comedian and actor who has a net worth of $5 million. Believe it or not, at the peak of his career in the late 1990s, Chris was the highest-paid actor in the world. After the massive success of the first "Rush Hour" movie, in 1999 Tucker negotiated $20 million to appear in the sequel. That's the same as earning $40 million for a single movie in today's dollars.

He then negotiated a two-movie $40 million contract with New Line Cinema of which $25 million would be his salary for Rush Hour 3. Tucker also received 20% of the gross receipts of Rush Hour 3. In total Chris earned at least $50 million from his work in the Rush Hour franchise alone, roughly $65 million after adjusting for inflation.

So why is his net worth so "low" at the moment? Unfortunately Chris has experienced some financial speed bumps over the years. After a series of financial mistakes, in 2011 Tucker found himself drowning in IRS debt. IRS and California tax filings would later reveal that Chris owed the IRS $11 million in taxes for the years 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005. By 2014 the debt had risen to $14 million.

Tucker's tax debt was finally settled in 2014.

If the rumored Rush Hour 4 movie ends up happening at some point, that will clearly be a boon to Chris' wallet.

Real Estate

Around this time he faced foreclosure on his 8,000 square foot, Florida mansion. He bought the home in 2007 for $6 million. Unfortunately he listed the 1-acre lakefront property for sale in 2010 for $2 million, and ultimately accepted $1.7 million in March 2012, a $4.3 million loss.

At the time of the 2011 filing, Chris stated publicly that he did not have enough income to pay his bills.

In 2013 he sold a 6,399 square foot home in Tarzana, California for $2.1 million. He bought this home in November 1996 for $1.1 million. In 2001 he paid $2.4 million for the home next door. He sold this home in 2009 for $3 million.

He reportedly still owns a home occupied by an ex-girlfriend in LA and a home in Georgia.
