Eddie Murphy is a major star of film and television, and his many iconic roles and characters have helped him to amass a net worth of around $200 million. He started his career as an actor on Saturday Night Live, and his performance on that show turned him into a huge star. However, most of his wealth comes from the several high-grossing movies he has starred in and his stand-up comedy special deal with Netflix.
Some of Eddie Murphy's most successful movies include Beverly Hills Cop, Dr. Dolitte, Mulan, and all four films in the Shrek franchise. The Shrek films collectively grossed about $3 billion at the box office, and Murphy took home quite the pay check for his role as Donkey. According to reports, he received a $12 million salary for his work in Shrek Forever After and he took home a significant percentage of the box office revenue as well. In addition, he is reportedly earning approximately $70 million from his new stand-up deal with Netflix.
Clearly, Eddie Murphy has done very well for himself financially. But is the same true for his family members? Here's what we know about Eddie Murphy's family members' net worths.
7 Eddie Murphy's Family
Unlike many Hollywood celebrities, Eddie Murphy doesn't have many family members in the public eye. Neither of his parents were entertainers, nor are any of his children. However, his brother Charlie Murphy was an actor and comedian, and his step-brother Vernon Lynch has worked as a television producer. Eddie Murphy has also dated and had children with several famous women, including models, singers, and television presenters.
6 Charlie Murphy ($2.5 Million)
Eddie Murphy's most famous blood relative was his brother Charlie Murphy, who was a successful actor and stand-up comedian in his own right. He was a writer and performer on Chappelle's Show and also played a main role on the TV series Black Jesus. Sadly, he passed away in 2017 at just 57 years of age. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Charlie Murphy had a net worth of $2.5 million when he died.
5 Vernon Lynch (Unknown)
Vernon Lynch is Eddie Murphy's step-brother from his mother's second marriage. Lynch co-wrote the 1995 film Vampire in Brooklyn alongside Murphy, and he also worked as a music consultant on one of Murphy's most recent films, Coming 2 America. In addition, Vernon Lynch served as an executive producer on Hollywood Exes, a reality show which starred Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole. Unfortunately, Vernon Lynch's net worth is not listed on Celebrity Net Worth, so it's unclear how much money he has today.
4 Mel B ($6 Million)
Melanie Brown, also known as Mel B, is a member of the popular 1990s girl group The Spice Girls. She dated Eddie Murphy for a few months in 2006, and although the two never married, Murphy allegedly had plans to propose. Melanie Brown is included on this list because she and Eddie Murphy have a daughter together, a 14-year-old girl named Angel. While Angel is still just a child and there is no reason to speculate about her net worth, we can report that her mother has an estimated $6 million fortune according to Celebrity Net Worth.
3 Nicole Mitchell Murphy ($10 Million)
While Eddie Murphy has been in several high-profile relationships, and while he has ten children with four different women, he has only been married once in his life. From 1993-2006, he was married to Nicole Mitchell Murphy, with whom he has five children. While Nicole is perhaps best known for her marriage to Murphy, she was a successful model for several years and she also starred in 3 seasons of the reality TV program Hollywood Exes. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she is worth $10 million today.
2 Tracey Edmonds ($60 Million)
Briefly after his relationship with Mel B, Eddie Murphy had a romance with Tracey Edmonds. Edmonds is n Emmy Award-winning TV presenter, known for her work hosting Extra. She is also a film and TV producer, having produced films such as Soul Food and Good Luck Chuck. From 1992 until 2005, she was married to the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Babyface. Edmonds and Murphy appeared to have a wedding ceremony in January 2008, but they broke up shortly afterwards. The couple later clarified that their wedding was just "symbolic" in nature and that they did not have a "legal ceremony."
1 Paige Butcher (Unknown)
Paige Butcher is currently in a relationship with Eddie Murphy, and the two have been dating since at least 2012. Butcher is the mother of Murphy's ninth and tenth children, a daughter born in 2016 and a son born in 2018. Butcher is a model, and she also played small roles in two Hollywood films: Something's Gotta Give and Big Momma's House 2, where she met Eddie Murphy for the first time. Her net worth is not available on Celebrity Net Worth, and other sources provide conflicting information about her true net worth, ranging from $800,000 on one website to $40 million on another. However, no matter what her true net worth is, it's safe to assume that Butcher is financially stable due to her relationship with Eddie Murphy.
