He’s already filed for bankruptcy twice, but the IRS dismissed both of those filings.

The bankruptcy filing provides rare insight into the volatile fortunes of an entertainer. In 2007, he earned $497,175 starring in “Pimp My Ride.” But after the show was canceled, his income plummeted to $67,510 in 2008, according to court records.

Also, this is surprising: Even while he was hosting Pimp My Ride, he didn’t actually own a car, but rather leased a Range Rover for $2,230 a month.
