Eddie Murphy is a well-known comedian and movie star. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1961, Eddie murphy has enjoyed a stellar career. Murphy’s first break was at the age of 19 where he starred on Saturday Night Life, a late night comedy show. Due to his popularity on the show and recognition of his comedic talent, Murphy had a regular slot on the show.
The first film that he featured in was 48 Hours, produced in 1982. He has appeared in many other films but the one that shot him to fame was Beverley Hills Cop produced in 1984. Eddie Murphy has appeared in a wide range of films and more recently has provided voice overs for well-known animations such as Shrek (where he provides the voice of the donkey) and Mulan (where he provides the voice of a dragon) which helped promote his comedic talents to a whole new generation.
Beverley Hills Cop 4 is Eddie Murphy’s latest venture, due to be released in 2016.
Eddie Murphy is estimated to have a net worth of $85 million, and if Beverley Hills cop 4 is a success this will most likely grow substantially.
Murphy made his money through his career as an actor, musician, singer, film director, stand-up comedian, film producer, television producer, screenwriter and voice actor. Eddie Murphy also has a substantial property portfolio. It has been rumoured that he paid his Ex-wife Nicole $15 million in a divorce settlement.
It’s a good thing Eddie murphy has made so much money, with 6 kids to provide for and an expensive lifestyle to fund. Eddie Murphy has an expensive eye when it comes to properties, spending $30 million on a mansion which he later sold for $12 million. That’s quite a loss, but I doubt if Eddie murphy ever felt the pinch. Eddie Murphy is also reported to like the finer things in life such as expensive fast cars, such as a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, a Mercedes- Benz SLS, A Aston Martin Vanquish and a Rolls Royce Phantom. Murphy also has a taste for fine dining and is rumoured to spend thousands of dollars a time when eating out.
