Chris Tucker made more than $40 million co-starring with Jackie Chan in the "Rush Hour" series of movies. But the actor/comedian is now facing foreclosure on a central Florida mansion he purchased in 2007.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Tucker owes $4.4 million to SunTrust Bank on the 10,000-square-foot waterfront home that boasts five bedrooms, three fireplaces, an outdoor kitchen and -- most importantly -- a basement designed like a pirate ship "with a wooden deck, mast and sail."
The Internal Revenue Service imposed a $11.5 million lien on the home in 2010, reports the Sentinel, in an effort to collect unpaid taxes.
Tucker, 39, bought the 10,000-sq.-ft. waterfront home on Lake Apopka, near Orlando, in 2007. The newspaper says the residence contains five bedrooms, three fireplaces, a personal spa, an outdoor kitchen overlooking a pool, and a basement outfitted to resemble a pirate ship, including the sail.
Court documents reportedly show an $11.5 million IRS lien on the home in 2011 in order to collect federal income taxes from Tucker, whose monthly mortgage payment, the documents also show, was $25,812.50.
There has been no comment from Tucker, but the Times Union of Albany, N.Y., reports that his comedy show scheduled in the city for this Sunday -- and was a rescheduling of a postponed September 3 performance -- has been canceled because of "unforeseen circumstances."
