Eddie Murphy | $20 Million | Beverly Hills, California

A goal is often achieved through a source of inspiration. In the case of Eddie Murphy, that credit goes to Richard Pryor. After listening to one of Pryor’s comedy albums, he decided that he too wanted to become a comedian. He gained his first fame as an actor on Saturday Night Live, but his popularity increased even more when he found his way into film. Some notable films Murphy has appeared in include The Nutty Professor, Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop, and Dolemite Is My Name.

For all the work he has done over the years, this comedian undoubtedly earned a considerable sum. His wealth is made even clearer by his Beverly Hills estate, which he purchased for $20 million. The property is a true entertainment center with a movie theater, pool, and even a bowling alley.
