The worlds in Eddie Murphy’s newest sequel movie “Coming 2 America” are divided into two: the opulent royal kingdom of Zamunda (which resembles the home of a contemporary rapper) and the ordinary life that Prince Akeem, the character, formerly desired in Queens, New York.
For Murphy, his life began in public housing in Brooklyn, another borough of New York City. However, the comedian began a solo stand-up and acting career after becoming well-known on “Saturday Night Live,” which came with a life of luxury.
In addition to his reputed $15 mιllιon island in the Bahamas, the 59-year-old currently resides with his family in a custom-built $20 mιllιon Beverly Hills residence.
