American comedian, impersonator, singer, and actor Eddie Murphy was born Edward Regan Murphy in Brooklyn, New York.
After making a comedic debut on SNL, he became a household name. A Thousand Words (2012), Dream Girls (2006), Tower Heist (2011), Trading Places (1983), and The Nutty Professor (1996) are just a few of the blockbuster films in which he has appeared. In the Coming to America films, he performed multiple roles, demonstrating his exceptional acting ability. He also provided the voice of the avowedly-tongued “Donkey” in the Shrek film, one of his most commercially successful works.
His nearly half-century-long career in show business has not diminished his enduring fame. Are you curious as to what he did with all of his life’s savings? Of course, when he’s not taking his family on a luxurious trip, he’s buying up prime real estate, like the Beverly Hills mansion that he and his family live in like royalty.
Murphy, like many other renowned people, decided to settle in Beverly Hills. His North Beverly Park home is a mansion measuring 18,598 square feet on 3.7 acres of land. In 2001, he forked over $10 million to acquire the property. After a number of upgrades and renovations, the mansion reportedly costs $20 million or more.
The house that Murphy has built is just amazing. There are ten bedrooms, a library, and seventeen bathrooms. The two spacious living areas and two tables are also a big plus for him.
Murphy is a performer at heart, so he takes pleasure in investing on elaborate setups for his home theater and bar. He is the proud owner of a large movie theater and a bowling alley with two lanes. He has an outdoor area with a swimming pool and lounge chairs. On the opposite side of the pool is a spa tub. As an added bonus, there is a masonry barbecue pit that has been installed underground. Because of these qualities, Eddie is able to spend a lot of time with his family, especially his ten children.
There is a trellis-enclosed tennis court and a basketball court on the property, as well as a four-car garage and an underground vault.
Murphy’s regal aura is present the moment you enter. Ornate arched entrances may be found in the foyer. And when it swings open, a scene befitting a palace unfolds before your eyes. There are several balconies and a rooftop patio and garden in the manner of Europe. At the property’s rear, four towering palm trees stand out among the other plants.
