Meet Tyler Perry: The World's Richest Actor
American actor and producer Tyler Perry is the world's richest actor, securing the 2356th spot on the list. As Forbes reported, Perry has a net worth of $1.4 billion. With this, Perry beats the richest actors across the globe, including Jerry Seinfeld ($1.1 billion), Tom Cruise ($800 million), Shah Rukh Khan ($770 million), and Dwayne Johnson ($700 million).
Here's the latest post of Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry's inclusion as the richest actor in the world is quite surprising. This is because, unlike other stars, Perry has not given a blockbuster in his career. He is best known for the Madea franchise, a series of films and shows revolving around the titular character. Though the franchise is not a huge money-maker, it has grossed over $660 million worldwide.
What are the income sources of Tyler Perry?
After the list was revealed, many wondered how Perry surpassed the biggest of stars. Tyler Perry has earned a major chunk of his net worth because of securing content rights. The magazine stated, "Perry's wealth comes both from his cut as a producer and from a library dating back to the early 1990s: he owns 100% of the content he's created. In 2019, he opened Tyler Perry Studios, a 330-acre property in Atlanta with 12 sound stages and custom sets that include a to-scale White House." Perry has also made some profitable business deals. As Forbes stated, "After seven years creating content for Oprah Winfrey's OWN, Perry struck a similar deal with Viacom in 2019, getting 25% of streaming service BET+."
