Tyler Perry, who was once homeless, is unmistakably a billionaire, according to Forbes. The 51-year-old entertainer has earned $1.4 billion in pre-tax income since 2005, the money outlet reports.
He owns the entirety 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 at the edge of Atlanta’s southern limits,” the outlet claims. “He used that control to leverage a deal with ViacomCBS that pays him $150 million a year for new content and gives him an equity stake in BET+, the streaming service it debuted last September.
"I love when people say you come from 'humble beginnings,' " Perry said in his Forbes billionaire interview. "[It] means you were poor as hell." It also makes success sweeter. "Ownership changes everything."
