Prior to and following the hit series, actor and comedian Martin Lawrence had a successful career in TV, film, and stand-up comedy. In the early 2000s, Lawrence churned out comedy movies annually, including Black Knight, National Security, and the Big Momma's House series.

Along with all the box-office winners, the biggest franchise Lawrence was a part of was Bad Boys. The Def Comedy Jam alum joined forces with actor Will Smith in the 1995 action-comedy about two best friend cops working on the narcotics beat. Though Bad Boys did well in the box office — grossing $141 million worldwide — it didn't match the outrageous popularity of its 2003 sequel Bad Boys 2.

The car chases, shootout scenes, and punchy one-liners culminated into the $273 million gross, according to Forbes, and they repeated the success all over again in January 2020 with Bad Boys For Life. In fact, the third installment to the Lawrence-Smith duo was "the biggest grossing 'new' January release" as the film racked in over $200 million after its first 24-hour release, as reported by Forbes.

It was announced in January 2020 via The Hollywood Reporter that Bad Boys 4 (the official title unreleased) is in the works, which is sure to add to Lawrence's $110 million net worth (per Celebrity Net Worth).
