“Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff claims he’s broke because of his required $21,000 monthly alimony payments to ex-wife Pamela Bach.

Hasselhoff says he has only $4,000 to his name and argues he should no longer have to pay Bach, whom he divorced in 2006.

“I am 63 years of age, and am at an age when I should be preparing for retirement and not having to continue working in order to pay [Bach’s] support,” Hasselhoff wrote in court papers filed in April, according to the New York Post.

Hasselhoff reportedly has assets, like real estate, cars, jewelry and real estate, worth $1.79 million. He earns $112,000 a month, but spends $66,000 on financial obligations.

Bach, who has received $2.3 million from Hasselhoff since their divorce, alleges his net worth is $120 million. He has filed court papers to cut off the payments.
