Although Steve Harvey is a very successful entertainer, it hasn’t always been that way.

The comedian/game show host recently discussed his problems with the IRS, owing them $22 million in 2008.

“My accountant died, and an accountant that worked for him called my lawyer and said, ‘We have a problem.’ She had found on the floor all my tax forms for 7 years, signed with the checks stapled to them,” Harvey stated.

“They were cashing the checks, keeping the money, and not turning in the tax forms. They didn’t cash it. They took the money out of the account that matched the exact number,” he added.

The tax problems occurred in 2016, right after he wed his wife, Marjorie. Harvey worried it would cause him to lose his wife and material possessions.

“I sat my wife down, and she cried, and I told her it was going to be alright; I was going to get us out,” Harvey stated.

Harvey then accepted every job opportunity that came his way in order to pay the money he owed.

Then, in 2012, doors started opening that allowed him to pay the debt. Since then, he has hosted a morning radio program, a daytime talk show, and has hosted the Miss Universe Pageant. Currently, he is a judge on a court show.

Harvey has even written multiple books on relationships. One of his books, ” Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man,” turned into two films, featuring Kevin Hart.

Today, Harvey’s net worth is over $200 million.
