#1: Bill Murray
Est. Net Worth: $180 Million
Bill Murray turned his dry humor into Hollywood gold after joining Saturday Night Live in 1977. Hits like Caddyshack, Stripes, and Ghostbusters made him a comedy favorite, while Groundhog Day and Lost in Translation showed he could bring much more than laughs to the screen.
His estimated $180 million fortune includes decades of movie salaries and a valuable share of Ghostbusters revenue. He reportedly earned $6 million upfront for its sequel, plus a percentage of sales. Away from Hollywood, he has also invested in minor league baseball teams, including the Charleston RiverDogs.
