According to @forbes. With a net worth of $1 billion, Tyler Perry is a brand new member of the billionaire club.
The 51-year-old entertainer owns all of his creative output, including more than 1,200 episodes of television, 22 feature films and at least two dozen stage plays, as well as a 330-acre studio lot that’s worth $280 milli, according to reports. Wow! his catalog is worth $20 million.
“I love when people say you come from ‘humble beginnings,’ Perry told Forbes. “[It] means you were poor as hell.” It also makes success sweeter. “Ownership,” he adds, “changes everything.”
Tyler Perry is not only creating top rated shows and movies, but he also leveraged his content holdings to land a deal with ViacomCBS that will dish out $150 million a year for new content. This deal also gives him an equity stake in BET+, a new streaming serviced that launched this year. In addition all of this, add another $60 million for his ownership, also according to Forbes.
Forbes estimates Perry has earned more than $1.4 billion in pretax income since 2005, with a fortune that includes homes, planes, and his mega-production studio in Georgia.
