How much does Eddie Murphy charge for a single movie?
While Carpenter undoubtedly sells out her shows and is one of the most successful pop sensations in the music industry, the singer is far behind in matching Murphy's fees for a single project. According to IMDb, the actor's salary for The Pick Up is reportedly $20 million.
According to Parade, Murphy, at one point, was one of the highest-paid actors, with his earnings per movie being $20 million. He commands between $4 million and $20 million per film, often negotiating backend deals that grant him a percentage of the profits.
Moreover, he earned $4,500 per episode on SNL, with his salary rising to $30,000 per episode the following season. In 2019, Murphy was paid $70 million by Netflix for a series of comedy specials, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth. This amount alone is more than three times Carpenter's net worth as of 2025.
The exact figures show how much the singer earns from her tour ticket sales and earnings per album. However, what is known is that Murphy's successful career has resulted in an estimated net worth of $300 million.
