So, what exactly contributes to Tyler Perry’s net worth? Well, according to Forbes, Tyler Perry has made his fortune by playing it smart with content rights. “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,” read the Forbes article.
Further, Tyler Perry has created content for Oprah Winfrey’s OWN, struck a smart deal with Viacom in 2019, getting 25% of the streaming service BET+.
