Eddie Murphy – Long Cay

Eddie Murphy, the beloved comedic maestro, made a blockbuster purchase in 2007 when he acquired Rooster Cay, a Bahamas paradise, for a staggering $15 million. Situated in close proximity to Nassau, the capital city, Rooster Cay retains an air of mystique and seclusion, tailored to the actor’s quest for solitude and serenity.

In this exclusive haven, Murphy finds the perfect blend of privacy and luxury, creating a comedy king’s treasure nestled in the picturesque waters of the Bahamas. Away from the hustle and bustle of the entertainment world, Rooster Cay offers him a serene and idyllic escape where he can recharge and revel in the unmatched beauty of his private paradise.
