As of January 2024, Chris Tucker has a negative net worth of -$11.5 million. It is a little hard to believe how can he have a negative net worth, because of his profit from only Rush Hour trilogy. Some information is saying that he earned $200 million from each of these movies. Also, he had endorsements which gave him a profit of $25 million. Most likely, his problems began with him avoiding to pay taxes in 2001. That year the IRS started pursuing him.
