The “Big Momma’s House” star, 59, has a net worth of $110 million, while Murphy, 63, is estimated to be worth $200 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Aside from Jasmin, 28, Lawrence is also the father to Lyanna Faith, 24, and Amara Trinity, 22. The father of three shares his daughters with separate exes.
