In his most recent film, Eddie Murphy, who is well-known for his classic roles in films like “Coming 2 America,” inhabits two different worlds: the opulent royal realm of Zamunda and the common life he once yearns for in Queens, New York, which is reminiscent of a modern rapper’s existence.

Murphy’s life changed once he became well-known on “Saturday Night Live,” where he began a lucrative solo career in stand-up comedy and acting. Murphy was raised in public housing in Brooklyn, New York.

The 59-year-old comedian currently resides in luxury with his family in a custom-built $20 million home in Beverly Hills, beyond his well-known $15 million island in the Bahamas.
