Income From Music Career

As a child, Murphy was highly interested in music and wanted to pursue a career as a musician. He spent his late teens and early twenties making music and playing guitar in various bands alongside his brother, Páidi Murphy. The duo was offered a record deal by Acid Jazz Records but couldn't sign because Páidi was still in secondary school.

While the talented pair didn't continue their path in music, Cillian continues to be a part of the industry and has performed his songs in his hit television show Peaky Blinders.

As seen above, many of the movies that the Irish actor was a part of, earned millions on the box-office. As a crucial part of these films, Murphy's salary, as well as the amount of bonus he earned from them, must have been grand.
