While nothing has been officially confirmed, Showbiz Galore has reported a big figure for Eddie Murphy’s return to “Beverly Hills Cop”, and given his reputation for commanding high fees, it’s not surprising. According to the specialized site, the “Shrek” actor earned $20 million for starring in the film, likely boosted by his role as producer.

The salary differences for the rest of the cast are notable. Taylour Paige, who plays Eddie’s daughter, reportedly received $500,000, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt, valued at at least $3 million, was paid $750,000.

Longtime collaborators Judge Reinhold and John Ashton, who have supported Murphy throughout the franchise, are rumored to have received $200,000 each. These disparities are not anyone’s fault, but rather entertainment companies trying to minimize costs while hiring big stars.

A similar scenario was seen recently in “A Family Affair,” where Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron received substantial paychecks, while the rest of the cast earned considerably less.
