World’s richest actor – Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry takes the title of the world’s richest actor in 2025. The actor, writer, director, and producer has a net worth of USD 1.4 billion, according to Forbes. With this massive net worth, Perry surpasses other rich actors such as Jerry Seinfeld (USD 1.1 billion), Tom Cruise (USD 800 million), Shah Rukh Khan (USD 770 million), and Dwayne Johnson (USD 700 million). It is common knowledge that most actors have several business ventures that contribute to their massive net worth. But, Tyler Perry making it to the top of the list comes as a surprise to most.

As an actor, Tyler Perry is mostly known for the Madea franchise. While none of the films in the franchise gained blockbuster status, the series grossed USD 600 million worldwide. 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+.
