Los Angeles: Hollywood comedian Chris Tucker has reportedly sold off his two houses in Florida to deal with the financial crunch.
Tucker got lucky with the first property, an 8,861 square foot, five-bedroom waterfront home in Lake County, by successfully negotiating a short sale before the bank planned to foreclose on it last month, reported TMZ online.
The 39-year-old’s bank accepted a USD 2 million bid for the house, satisfying the actor’s debt, even though he allegedly owed USD 4.4 million on the property before selling it. In October, Tucker sold the other Florida house for USD 1,050,000, much less than his USD 1.5 million asking price. But any money is good money at this point as Tucker still allegedly owes USD 11.5 million in back taxes. (PTI)
