Chris Tucker, the "Rush Hour" actor, has made a $1 million profit on the sale of his Los Angeles mansion. Tucker purchased the mansion back in 1996 for $1.1 million.
According to the listing records, Tucker last listed the home for sale sometime in December 2012 for around $2 million. The home went under contract in January and the deal was closed on March 27, 2013.
Located in the posh gated and private neighborhood of Mulholland Park, the home is a 6399 square feet single-family residence comprising of five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, all sitting on a 0.72 acre lot.
The home's interior features mixed flooring ranging from hardwood, tile, stone and marble. The residence also has large doors and windows with beautiful balconies that offer panoramic views of the city and a nearby golf course. Living spaces include a formal living room, a dining room, a den, a loft a bonus room, a family room and an office. Separate maids' quarters and a powder room also exist on the property. A modern eat-in kitchen with built in pantry and a laundry room are its other amenities.
Outside, the home has beautiful gardens, an infinity pool, a spa and four covered parking spaces.

The huge profit Tucker made on the home's sale might help him with his tax payment issues. According to TMZ, Tucker has been struggling with tax debts worth $12 million. Seven years ago, Tucker was one of the highest paid actors when he earned around $25 million for "Rush Hour 3". However, there were hardly any roles for him after the third installment of the movie.
But looks like the good times are back for Tucker. He made his comeback in the Oscar-nominated movie "Silver Linings Playbook" where he plays Bradley Cooper's sidekick.
He is currently preparing for his Comedy Tour that is slated to start May 3. Commenting on his tour and his bad days he said to Hamptonroads.com:
"It's been back to my roots in stand-up comedy for the last two years. It's a great place to be because you have to be the sharpest and, when you're clicking, it's the greatest reward. You get instant response from the audience, not like in the movies when you have to wait six months to see if a gag worked."
"Comedy comes from conflict. I talk about my life. I talk about my beginnings. People identify," he added.
