EDDIE MURPHY | $200 MILLION | SINGER

Eddie Murphy has been serving notable films throughout his career, but he started up in the stand-up comedy industry before he blew up as an actor. Murphy’s comedic style was so different from the scene when he started that he stood out from the rest. The actor’s sense of humor was not always everyone’s cup of tea, but Murphy knew what he was doing, and his audience got it. His risky style brought him to where he is, and he transferred his comedic prowess into the films he did during his career. It proved to be an essential component of Murphy as he received credits and numerous awards for his work.

Other than being a stand-up comedian and a terrific actor, Murphy used to sing too. He even released an album, and some of his songs got him some minor hits. The actor never stopped singing, but he stopped releasing them. Murphy says that singing is still one of his biggest passions.
