Total Calculated Earnings:		$49,009,000

Despite appearing in well over a hundred projects during his professional acting career, only a handful of Bill Murray’s film salaries were ever publicly disclosed. As you might expect, his recurring role as Dr. Peter Venkman in the Ghostbusters franchise is the most interesting of the bunch. However, before we get to that, let’s quickly cover his other known paychecks.

By the late 1980s and early 1990s, Bill Murray was already earning several million dollars per film, including the 1988 flick, Scrooged, for which he received $6 million upfront. This was followed by a salary of $8 million for What About Bob? in 1991, and $10 million for Groundhog Day (1993).

In 1998, when Murray starred in Rushmore, he basically accepted a salary of next to nothing for the role. The film’s production budget was only $9 million, but Bill loved the script so much that he just wanted to be part of it. The Screen Actors Guild minimum salary at the time was $9,000, which is exactly what Murray agreed to. He also wrote a $25,000 check to cover the cost of a helicopter shot that the studio didn’t want to pay for. The check was never cashed, but Murray was willing to pay the studio to be in the film.

His additional earnings include a reported $3 million for his cameo in Zombieland and $1 million for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Ghostbusters Earnings

Now, you may have noticed that the table above lists salary figures for two of the Ghosbusters films in which Bill Murray starred. However, these only account for his upfront salary, and not the lucrative backend deal that was negotiated. Regarding the original 1984 film, the agent for the leading cast members, Michael Ovitz, negotiated a highly impressive 30% split of Ghostbusters’ gross revenues. This included box office revenues, VHS tape revenues, and additional revenues from network licensing.

The 30% share would be split four ways. Not just among Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis, but also including Ivan Reitman, the film’s director. According to reports, the total value of this 30% share was $300 million, with the film grossing $297 million at the global box office. Thus, Murray should have earned an estimated $75 million from the first film.

For the second film, Murray and his co-stars were paid $6 million up front, plus 35% of the gross revenue. While the second film was nowhere near as big a hit, its box office totals still reached $212 million. Although Murray’s earnings from Ghostbusters II have never been publicly disclosed, we can make an educated guess based on the information available. The second film did roughly 71% of the first film’s box office figures. Assuming this figure correlates with revenues from VHS and licensing, which is somewhat unlikely, a 30% share would have earned each star $53.25 million, plus their $6 million upfront payment. A 35% share should have earned them $68.1 million total.

Finally, his last known salary for Ghostbusters: Afterlife was $15 million in 2021. Thus, we’re looking at about $158 million from the three films. A conservative estimate is between $140 million and $150 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Despite being best known for Ghostbusters, none of the five films in the franchise in which Murray appeared became his highest-grossing. His voice-over work as Baloo in the live-action animated remake of The Jungle Book would become his top film, grossing $968 million worldwide. Appearing in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania would account for second place, raking in $476 million at the box office. Given its inflated $200 million budget, it didn’t deliver an excellent ROI compared to 1984’s Ghostbusters.

The original Ghostbusters films grossed $297 million worldwide on a budget of just $30 million. It remains the oldest film in Murray’s ten highest-grossing films and the one with the highest return on investment. The next best-performing Ghostbusters film was the 2016 remake of the same name, which earned $229 million against a $144 million budget. 1989’s Ghostbusters II followed, earning $215 million on a $25 million budget. Afterlife and Frozen Empire grossed $204 million and $202 million, respectively. The franchise has grossed $1.15 billion overall, but the original 80s movies had a much higher average ROI of 830.91%. The inflated budgets of the latest trilogy reduced their average return to just 99%.

Here’s a complete list of Bill Murray’s ten highest-grossing movies:

The Jungle Book – $968 Million (2016)
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – $476 Million (2023)
Ghostbusters – $297 Million (1984)
Charlie’s Angels – $264 Million (2000)
Get Smart – $231 Million (2008)
Space Jam – $231 Million (1996)
Ghostbusters – $229 Million (2016)
Ghostbusters II – $215 Million (1989)
Ghostbusters: Afterlife – $204 Million (2021)
Garfield: The Movie – $203 Million (2004)

Divorce Settlement

In 1997, Bill Murray married costume designer Jennifer Butler. The couple were married for roughly eleven years, and had four children together: Cal, Jackson, Lincoln, and Cooper. Butler filed for divorce in May 2008, alleging that Murray suffered from addiction and was abusive towards her. The majority of the court documents were sealed, but here’s what we know.

Once the divorce was finalized, Butler reportedly received two properties: one in Sullivan’s Island and the other in Hemet. She also received a $7 million lump-sum settlement, to be paid within 60 days, and Murray was to pay child support for their four children, who would be living with their mother.

Real Estate

In the 1980s, Bill Murray purchased a 1.91-acre property in the Palisades, New York. He tore down the original home on the lot and built a custom yellow house of 4,673 square feet with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Although these numbers seem to vary from source to source. The construction was completed in 1990, and Bill sold the home sometime in the late 1990s. We were unable to find information regarding its sale price. It was last listed for $3.7 million in 2024.

Murray previously owned a 2,022-square-foot, three-bedroom, four-bathroom beachfront home in Malibu, California. According to public records, Murray purchased the house for $1.3 million in June 1993. In May 2004, he sold it for $2.6 million, double his initial purchase price. Not a bad investment, all things considered.

Introduction

Beanie Feldstein is an American professional actress with an estimated net worth of $3 Million.

While Beanie Feldstein initially debuted as an actor in an episode of My Wife and Kids in the early 2000s, her career didn’t take off until the mid-2010s. To date, she’s starred in approximately thirty films and television shows, but is best known for her film roles in Neighbors 2 and Booksmart.

This profile outlines our research into Beanie Feldstein’s net worth, income sources, highest-grossing films, and any other aspects of her finances.

Quick Facts

Secured endorsement deals with Aerie and Gucci
Grossed $230+ million in global box office revenues

Income Sources

Unfortunately for us, none of Beanie Feldstein’s film salaries have ever been disclosed to the public. However, we’re safe in assuming that this is where the majority of her income and net worth has come from.

So instead of listing how much she’s earned from her film roles, as we would normally do, let’s take a look at those which would have earned her the most.

While Feldstein technically made her on-screen debut as a child in 2002, one could argue that her career didn’t really begin until the mid-2010s. In fact, her debut film role in Neighbors 2, alongside stars like Zac Efron, Seth Rogen, and Chloë Grace Moretz, remains the highest-grossing film of her career. Despite this, she played only a minor role, and the movie likely didn’t pay her a substantial salary.

That said, Beanie’s performance in Neighbors 2 opened doors. Towards the end of the decade, she landed roles in films like Lady Bird, Booksmart, and How to Build a Girl. This time, she wasn’t sharing the screen with numerous renowned actors, giving her roles more attention. She also played the lead/co-lead actress in two of the films mentioned above.

In recent years, Feldstein’s most notable roles include voicing the titular character Harriet in the animated show, Harriet the Spy. She also played Althea in 6 episodes of Murders in the Building, and Sukie in Drive-Away Dolls.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Feldstein’s biggest box-office hit was in 2016, when she starred in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. The film grossed $108 million worldwide against a $35 million budget, although it was nowhere near the success of the first movie, which grossed $270 million against only an $18 million production budget.

Feldstein also starred in Lady Bird ($79 million) and Booksmart, which grossed $25 million against a $6 million budget. Two of her other entries on the list include very recent roles in Selma ($9 million) and Drive-Away Dolls ($7.9 million), both released in 2024.

Here’s a complete list of Beanie Feldstein’s ten highest-grossing films:

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising – $108 Million (2016)
Lady Bird – $79 Million (2017)
Booksmart – $25 Million (2019)
Thelma – $9 Million (2024)
Drive-Away Dolls – $7.9 Million (2024)
How to Build a Girl – $71 Thousand (2019)
The Humans – $47 Thousand (2021)
The Female Brain – $22 Thousand (2017)

Additional Income Sources

Outside of film and television, Beanie Feldstein also earns an income from several sources, including:

Broadway shows
Social media sponsorships
Speaking engagements
Brand endorsements/collaborations

Regarding the latter income stream, Feldstein has previously appeared in a fashion campaign for Gucci. Additionally, she appeared as an AerieREAL Role Model for the clothing retailer Aerie.

Introduction

Morris Chestnut is an American professional actor with an estimated net worth of $6 Million.

Since launching his career with an appearance in Freddie’s Nightmares in 1990, Morris Chestnut has starred in nearly 60 films and television shows. While best known for his work in films such as Boyz n the Hood, Think Like A Man, and Best Man Holiday, Chestnut’s recent work has been primarily in television.

This profile examines Morris Chestnut’s net worth, income sources, highest-grossing films, assets, and other events related to his finances.

Quick Facts

Grossed $1.3+ billion in global box office revenue
Faced with a $215,800 IRS tax lien in 2010
Assets include a 6,610-square-foot, $3.6 million home in Calabasas

Income Sources

Interestingly, none of Morris Chestnut’s film salaries have ever been disclosed to the public. The actor first realized success in the 1991 film Boyz n the Hood, which was actually his debut film. For a while, none of his projects quite lived up to the same level of success. However, towards the end of the decade, Chestnut began landing roles in films like Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995), G.I. Jane (1997), and The Best Man (1999).

During the 2000s, he picked up roles in a wide range of films, beginning with the children’s basketball film Like Mike (2002), starring alongside Bow Wow. Morris also had the opportunity to play a lead role in Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004), and smaller roles in The Game Plan and The Perfect Holiday.

Despite taking a break from the film industry towards the end of the 2010s, Chestnut still found the time to reprise his role as Lance in The Best Man Holiday. He also played law enforcement in three films that were all released in the same year: Identity Thief (2013) starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy, The Call (2013) starring Halle Berry, and Kick-Ass 2 (2013)

TV Career

For the past decade or so, Morris Chestnut’s primary source of income has been on television. In fact, he hasn’t even starred in a film since 2017. During the last ten years, Chestnut has worked on eleven television shows, though not all are considered equal. We believe that three shows in particular have likely earned him a substantial salary.

Rosewood

In 2015, Chestnut landed the lead role as Dr. Beaumont Rosewood in the FOX medical drama, Rosewood. He was the star of the show, which aired for two seasons totaling 44 episodes. Now, of course, salaries weren’t revealed, but industry experts estimate that he could have earned between $75,000 and $150,000 per episode. This brings his potential compensation to between $3.3 million and $6.6 million, if accurate.

The Resident

The year after Rosewood was canceled by FOX, Chestnut began starring in another medical drama, this time on Hulu. He played Barrett Cain in 30 episodes of The Resident, but unlike Rosewood, this wasn’t a lead role. Still, the sheer volume of episodes likely more than made up for it.

Watson

Last, but definitely not least, is the CBS Original show, Watson, which, as the name suggests, takes place in the world of Sherlock Holmes. Why is this show such an important project? Not only is it part of a globally renowned franchise, but Chestnut also stars as the lead character, Dr. John Watson, and is credited as an executive producer on 14 episodes.

To date, Watson has aired two seasons and 33 episodes, with the most recent episode airing in May 2026. Given his roles on the show, several estimates suggest that he could be earning upwards of $200,000 per episode. As with his other projects, these are only estimates, not verified figures.

Highest-Grossing Films

Here are the highest-grossing films of Morris Chestnut’s career:

Identity Thief (2013) -$173.9 million
The Game Plan (2007) – $147.8 million
Girls Trip (2017) – $140.5 million
Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) – $104.3 million
Ladder 49 (2004) – $101.4 million
G.I. Jane (1997) – $98.4 million
Think Like A Man (2012) – $96 million
The Best Man Holiday (2013) – $72.8 million
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) – $70.99 million
The Call (2013) – $68.5 million

IRS Issues

According to reports, in January 2010, the IRS filed a tax lien against Morris Chesnut and his wife. The lien was for $215,800 in unpaid income taxes, but Chesnut disputed the figure. His financial manager at the time advised him not to pay the debt until the dispute was resolved. We’re not sure what happened in this case, but it’s presumably now been closed.

Real Estate

Morris Chesnut has lived in the northwestern suburbs of Los Angeles for a long time. In May 2001, he paid $707,000 for a 3,779-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Granada Hills, California. Oddly enough, he sold this property just a year later for $720,000.

In 2007, Chesnut spent $3.3 million on a 5,522-square-foot hilltop home in Hidden Hills. This property has since been torn down and rebuilt; however, it previously featured amenities such as an outdoor pool and tennis court. Chesnut lost a substantial sum of money on this property when he sold it for just $2.3 million in 2012.

In November 2020, Morris paid $2.44 million for a 6,610-square-foot, six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home in Calabasas, California. According to public records, he still owns this property, which is now valued at an estimated $3.4 million.

Summary

Morris Chestnut’s long and successful career started with his acting debut in the late 80s and has culminated in his status as a leading man in Hollywood since the 90s. He’s received numerous accolades and award nominations throughout his career, and he remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

Introduction

Mads Mikkelsen is a Danish professional actor with an estimated net worth of $14 Million.

Since launching his acting career in the mid-1990s, Mads Mikkelsen has starred in close to 70 films and television shows. The actor is best known for playing iconic villain roles in projects such as Casino Royale (2006), Hannibal, Doctor Strange (2016), and the video game Death Stranding (2019). His films have grossed more than $4.7 billion at the worldwide box office.

In this profile, we’ll discuss our extensive research into Mads Mikkelsen’s net worth, known salaries, highest-grossing films, and endorsement deals.

Quick Facts

Potentially earned $100,000-$150,000 per episode from Hannibal (estimated)
Grossed $4.7+ billion in global box office revenues
Secured endorsement deals with Carlsberg, Campari, ZEGNA, and Occhio
Assets include a 2,185-square-foot, $3 million home in Denmark

Hannibal Earnings

In 2013, Mads Mikkelsen was cast in the titular role of the psychological horror series Hannibal. Despite playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter himself, Mikkelsen reportedly earned less than his co-stars. According to a 2013 list of the highest-paid TV actors by TVGuide, Laurence Fishburne’s salary was listed at $175,000 per episode, while Gillian Anderson reportedly earned $100,000 per episode.

Now, Mikkelsen’s character had more screen time than Fishburne and Anderson’s characters combined. So, it’s possible he was left out of the list simply because TV Guide didn’t know how much he was being paid. In any case, we can assume he was earning at least $100,000 per episode, likely closer to $150,000. At the time, Fishburne had significantly higher star power, which could have allowed him to command a higher paycheck.

At $100,000 per episode, Mads Mikkelsen would have earned approximately $3.9 million from all three seasons and 39 episodes of Hannibal, equating to $1.3 million per season on average. If his salary were closer to $150,000 per episode, he would have earned roughly $5.85 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

Here’s a complete list of Mads Mikkelsen’s ten highest-grossing movies:

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – $1.06 billion (2016)
Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) – $722.6 million
Doctor Strange – $678 million (2016)
Casino Royale – $617 million (2006)
Clash of the Titans – $493 million (2010)
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore – $407 million (2022)
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny – $384 million (2023)
King Arthur – $204 million (2004)
The Three Musketeers – $132 million (2011)
Chaos Walking – $27 million (2021)

Endorsement Deals

In addition to his income from acting, Mads Mikkelsen also earns money from lucrative endorsement deals. His most notable partnership was with the multinational brewery Carlsberg, which actually originates from his home country of Denmark. Mikkelsen appeared in various commercials for the company, promoting its Danish Pilsner, Unfiltered, alcohol-free, and 175th-anniversary lines. Similarly, Mads has also worked with the Italian liquor brand Campari. Outside of alcohol, the actor has secured endorsement deals with the fashion brand ZEGNA, lighting company Occhio, and Switzerland Tourism.

Real Estate

When it comes to Mikkelsen’s real estate portfolio, only one of his past purchases has been discussed in the media. According to reports, in November 2024, Mads and his wife, Hanne Jacobsen, paid 20.9 million Danish kroner ($3 million) for a 2,185-square-foot home in North Zealand, Denmark. The property features everything you’d expect from a Scandinavian home, including a bathhouse and sauna.
