After being cast in just the second season of now-classic show "Saturday Night Live" and, making a career in many classic comedy films and even getting an Academy Award nomination for his work in Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation," what is Bill Murray's net worth?
A classic comedy legend for generations of men and women and a meme for those who are more familiar with the world of the Internet, Bill Murray's net worth has steadily increased over the course of decades, after having made his entertainment debut when "Saturday Night Live" was just starting out, opposite legendary comedians such as Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi.
It's not hard to gather that Bill Murray's net worth must be among the highest for any comedian, as he's starred in many films that have now turned into classics, such as the 80s "Ghostbusters" opposite Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis and Harold Ramis.
Another film that has made Bill Murray's net worth grow exponentially was "Groundhog Day," one of his most popular movies, a classic about a man who has to re-live the same Groundhog Day (when a groundhog supposedly announces whether spring will come early) over and over again, even though he always knows exactly what's going to happen each and every time. The film saw him reunited with pal Ramis, and co-starred Andie McDowell.
Back in 2003, Bill Murray starred in Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation," the role that would give him his very first Academy Award nomination, playing a washed up actor who goes to Tokyo for a job advertising a Japanese whiskey. In the film, he meets Scarlett Johansson and they fall in love in the big Japanese capital, as they're the only ones who understand each other in the isolation of the foreign city.
Currently, Bill Murray's net worth stands at $140 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, besides reaching meme status over the many stories of his appearances: legend says he comes up to random people on the street, gives them a hug and whispers "no one is ever going to believe you" in their ear. Epic!
