EDDIE MURPHY | $200 Million

Everyone has idols they look up to. For Eddie Murphy, these were icons such as Robin Williams, Peter Sellers, Charlie Chaplin, and Richard Pryor. Well, because of these people, Murphy had decided to ultimately pursue a career as a comedian. By the time he was around 15 years, he had begun his journey, performing comedy gigs at clubs near his hometown.

With all the attention he was receiving, it was no surprise he eventually found his way into the spotlight. By the 1980s, Murphy got his first big shot to fame when he had landed a spot as a cast member of Saturday Night Live. A few years later, he garnered an even higher degree of popularity thanks to his role in movies such as The Nutty Professor, Dr. Dolittle, Beverly Hills Cop, and, more recently, Dolemite Is My Name. With that said, the comedian/actor now has a net worth of $200 million.
