Chris Tucker Sells Tarzana Home for $2.1 Million

Actor Chris Tucker, best known for his roles in the "Rush Hour" film series, has sold his Tarzana home for $2.1 million, according to the Huffington Post.

Tucker, who recently appeared in a supporting role in the award-winning Silver Linings Playbook, has owned the 6,300 square-foot home in the exclusive Mulholland Park gated community since 1996, according to the report. He purchased the home for a reported $1.1 million.

According to the Huffington Post:

The suburban home is located in the hills of San Fernando Valley and has 5 ensuite bedrooms, two additional bathrooms and three fireplaces. The enviable gourmet kitchen features three ovens, a walk-in pantry, bar and breakfast nook, notes the official listing. Outdoors, the home boasts a pool and spa. But perhaps its best feature is the master "retreat," which has its own sitting room, walk-in closets and a spacious balcony that looks over the city lights and the community's private golf course.

Tucker has been through serious financial trouble in recent years after owing the IRS a reported $11.5 million. But Tucker, who is also a stand-up comedian, has shown a sense of humor about his money issues.

"That's the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me with my taxes," Tucker said during a stand-up routine in 2011 in Miami, according to the Miami New Times.
