Chris Tucker Net Worth: $3M
The star of “Fifth Element” and “Rush Hour,” Chris Tucker was once among the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, racking up paychecks of $25 million per picture.
However, a string of financial crises – like foreclosing on his $6 million home in 2011, taking a feature film hiatus and settling a $2.5 million tax lien in 2014 – had a serious effect on his net worth.
Still, Tucker seems happy with being selective, even if he’s not quite as rich as he used to be.
For instance, the actor made a surprise appearance in 2012’s “Silver Linings Playbook,” alongside actors Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, and it wound up being an Oscar winner.
As he told the Los Angeles Times in 2015, “I want to get better.
I want to do something that excites me, that is different and fun.” For this small-fortuned celebrity, at least, money truly isn’t everything.
