The 65-year-old said that the people he hired to handle his finances were discovered by the game show.

Harvey explained that they didn't cash the checks but took the money out of the account that matched the exact number.

Harvey spent $650,000 a month on taxes and living expenses for the next seven years.

It wasn't the first time Harvey talked about his finances. He told Yahoo News that the incident happened shortly after he married his third wife, Majorie.

He thought he would lose everything, including the former fashion designer.

The game show host went to work. I worked and took every gig. In 2012 I got free after a big deal came through. He said that it has been OK ever since.

Harvey's admission stunned fans who flocked to social media to discuss the news they had just heard, including one user who wrote, "Steve Harvey owing the IRS millions of dollars because people were stealing from him and having to pay $650,000 a month for it." He never missed a payment and never went to jail. Can you imagine a monthly bill of $650,000?

Can you imagine a monthly $650,000 bill while also keeping up with normal everyday life??

Steve Harvey has confidence that I have never seen before. The man had to pay the IRS $650,000 a month for 4 years because his accountant was stealing from him. He made every payment on time. That is $31.2 million dollars.

Steve Harvey talking about how he paid the IRS $650,000 a month for 4 years because his accountant was robbing him blind and stealing his cheque payments is crazy. He has been one of the hardest working men in television. The taxes weren't going to be paid back.
