Back in 2015, The Game became the latest celebrity to get a VH1 reality dating show. “She’s Got Game” borrowed heavily from the formula perfected by shows like “Flavor of Love,” “For the Love of Ray J” and “Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.” A group of women joined The Game on the road, competing for his affection while trying to prove they could keep up with his self-described “hip hop lifestyle.”
The season ended with The Game choosing former Miss Jamaica Universe Rebecca Silvera. Their romance, shockingly enough, did not blossom into a lifelong VH1 fairy tale.
But one contestant from “She’s Got Game” did remain connected to The Game long after the cameras stopped rolling. Her name was Priscilla Rainey.
Rainey was eliminated midway through the season, but she later accused The Game of sexually assaulting her during an off-camera outing connected to production. She sued. The Game denied the allegation, but he also repeatedly failed to participate in the litigation and did not appear for the November 2016 trial. A federal jury ultimately found him liable and ordered him to pay Rainey $7.13 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
The Game’s reaction was not exactly conciliatory. He publicly mocked the verdict and vowed that Rainey would “never get a dime.“
Nearly a decade later, Rainey has managed to collect some money. But the overwhelming majority of the judgment has proven extraordinarily difficult to recover.
Over the years, she has pursued his record-label interests, music royalties, Cameo income and his Calabasas mansion in an effort to collect what remains. The Game, meanwhile, has repeatedly gone back to court trying to limit or undo the financial consequences.
His latest attempt just failed.

What The Game Was Actually Appealing
There’s an important clarification in the new ruling. The Game was not getting another chance to appeal the original 2016 sexual battery verdict. He already tried that, and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the $7.13 million award in 2019.
This latest appeal concerns a separate California lawsuit Rainey filed in 2021 as she tried to collect the money. At that point, she alleged that she had recovered less than 4% of the original judgment and that more than $6.8 million remained unpaid. The lawsuit accused The Game of using companies and asset transfers to put income and property beyond her reach.
Serving him with that lawsuit became its own ordeal. According to the appellate ruling, a process server went to The Game’s gated Calabasas residence six times without successfully reaching him. On another occasion, the server followed him to an office building and attempted to personally serve him there, but The Game allegedly refused to accept the documents. Rainey’s attorneys also mailed the summons and complaint to his home before a judge ultimately authorized service by publication in the Los Angeles Daily Journal.
The Game did not respond, and in December 2023, a California court entered a default judgment. The court declared JTT Holdings and F12 & Associates to be alter egos of The Game and voided several disputed transactions, including the transfer of his Calabasas residence, his interest in JTT Holdings and the assignment of his “The Game” trademark.
In January 2025, The Game tried to get that judgment thrown out. His attorneys argued that there were technical problems with the way he had been served, including a typo in the courthouse address, the identification of the court as the “Santa Monica Courthouse” rather than the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, and differences between the original summons and the version published in the newspaper.
He also argued that Rainey’s attorneys should have mailed him the court order authorizing service by publication. The trial court rejected those arguments, and on August 26, 2026, the California Court of Appeal did the same. The appellate court found that the summons substantially complied with California law and that the minor discrepancies were not enough to invalidate service.
So the California enforcement judgment remains intact.
A Decade Of Trying To Collect $7.1 Million
The ruling is merely the latest development in an extraordinary collection battle.
In 2017, The Game sued Viacom for $20 million, arguing that VH1’s parent company failed to properly vet Rainey before casting her on “She’s Got Game.” That case was dismissed.
After his appeal of the original verdict failed, Rainey increasingly targeted specific income streams. In 2020, she gained control over The Game’s Prolific Records label and royalties from his 2019 album “Born 2 Rap.” In 2021, a judge authorized her to seize income from his Cameo account. Court records showed that he had generated roughly $19,000 through the personalized-video platform over several months.
Eventually, Rainey went after a much more valuable asset: The Game’s house.
What Actually Happened To The Calabasas Mansion?
In September 2017, The Game purchased a gated estate at 25090 Mulholland Highway in Calabasas for $2.885 million. The property spans more than two acres and includes a roughly 4,100-square-foot main house, a guesthouse, swimming pool and sports court.
Ownership was later transferred to The Game’s longtime manager, Cash Jones, better known as Wack 100. Rainey alleged that the transfer was intended to put the property beyond her reach, and the California enforcement judgment ultimately voided it.
In May 2025, we reported that a judge had authorized the forced sale of the mansion to help satisfy Rainey’s judgment.
The property was listed for $3.65 million in March 2026. Public property records subsequently show a transaction on April 10 for $2,933,919. Digging into the underlying foreclosure records reveals what actually happened.
On March 24, the property went to a trustee sale with approximately $2.895 million in secured debt. The recorded bid was $2,933,919.28, and the foreclosure record lists the result as “reverted.” That means the house was not purchased by an outside buyer for $2.93 million. Instead, it reverted to the lender or beneficiary that held the secured debt.
And that distinction is crucial for Rainey. In a normal sale, any money left after paying off mortgages and other senior liens could potentially be available to satisfy her judgment. But this appears to have been a foreclosure in which the lender essentially took back the property to satisfy its own roughly $2.9 million secured claim. In practical terms, there does not appear to have been meaningful equity left over for Rainey to collect.
I have not found any public record showing that Rainey received money from the foreclosure itself. Based on the available records, it appears entirely possible that she received nothing from the loss of The Game’s Calabasas mansion, despite spending years fighting for the right to reach the property.
That makes the outcome somewhat remarkable. One of The Game’s most obvious multimillion-dollar assets was ultimately lost, but because it was already so heavily leveraged, losing the house may have done little or nothing to reduce the $7.1 million judgment hanging over him. It also helps explain why, nearly a decade after winning her case, Rainey is still fighting to collect.
Where That Leaves The Game
The Game remains an active recording artist who can generate substantial income from touring, streaming, royalties and appearances. But earning money and having a positive net worth are two very different things, particularly when a multimillion-dollar judgment has been following you for a decade.
Taking into account the $7.13 million judgment, years of collection efforts, royalty and income seizures, litigation over asset transfers and the apparent lack of significant equity in his former Calabasas mansion, Celebrity Net Worth now estimates The Game’s net worth at negative $2 million.
Back in 2016, The Game insisted Priscilla Rainey would “never get a dime.” Ten years later, she has pursued his royalties, businesses, Cameo income and real estate, while courts have repeatedly rejected his efforts to escape the financial consequences of the original judgment. His latest challenge just produced the same result.
