How Bill Murray makes his money
Film acting is the foundation. Comedy classics such as Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day, along with a string of acclaimed independent films, have kept him in demand for decades.
Television and voice work add variety. He appeared in Olive Kitteridge and voiced Baloo in The Jungle Book.
Business interests include a stake in a baseball team and a restaurant, which add income and a link to his hometown region.
Commercial work and appearances at events fill the gaps between films.
His long collaboration with Wes Anderson and his Golden Globe win in 2014 show how he has stayed in demand with younger directors and audiences, which keeps his fees healthy late in his career.
Residual payments from classic films like Caddyshack and Stripes continue to add small, steady sums.
Cameos in friends' projects add occasional fees, and they keep his name in front of new audiences.
