No one in Hollywood is making more money than Actor, director, writer Tyler Perry. Yesterday the movie and television mogul celebrated his 42nd Birthday as Holloywood’s Highest Paid Man.
Tyler Perry, The first black producer to own a major television and film studio
Between May 2010 through May of 2011 Tyler Perry brought in 130 Million Dollars. That puts him on top of FORBES list of ”Entertainments Highest-Paid Men”.
The Hollywood renaissance man got his start back in 2005 when he lept onto the big screen with a colorful character by the name of Madea. Perry, a multi talented man played the role so well that a few didn’t notice that he was actually a man dressed in drag. movie and television mogul Tyler Perry.
This means that Tyler even beat out Director Steven Spielberg who comes in 3rd on the list with 107 Million dollars after a three year hiatus.
Here is “Forbes’” list of “Entertainment’s Highest-Paid Men”
1. Tyler Perry (130-million dollars)
2. Jerry Bruckheimer (113-million dollars)
3. Steven Spielberg (107-million dollars)
4. Elton John (100-million dollars)
5. Simon Cowell (90-million dollars)
6. James Patterson (84-million dollars)
7. Dr. Phil McGraw (80-million dollars)
8. Leonardo DiCaprio (77-million dollars)
9. Howard Stern (76-million dollars)
10. Tiger Woods (75-million dollars)Los Angeles:
Oprah, has set Dr. Phil up for life… Poor Tiger, his funds are dwindling..
Perry will next make a rare appearance in a film he didn’t direct, write and produce. He’ll take up the mantle of author James Patterson’s detective Alex Cross in the movie I, Alex Cross. Morgan Freeman played the detective in two earlier films: Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls.
Located in Atlanta, Tyler Perry is the only black person to have his own film studio and he may just be getting his OWN cable network soon. He has not done bad. Not bad at all for a man who once called his car home sleeping in it on the streets of Georgia.
You know Spike Lee is somewhere sick with it right now, jumping up and down, talking about F. Yo Couch N#gga!
No comment
You’re NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*** Spike Lee! Maybe if he stopped worrying about Tyler and started making movies folks cared about he wouldn’t have time to bytch about Tyler!!!!
Tyler has some of the movies.
lol Spike is better behind the camera that’s for sure, he needs to get with folks who bring forth stories that people want to see and hear. Tyler made a killing. I’d like to see someone else come up though, we need a black Spielberg or James Cameron type I swear.
lmFao! u STUPID *n tha blk use of tha wurd* i aint th0ught b0ut ‘ol Spikey n a min! #1KissyFan
Orr maybe he should start wearing a dress and act like a toon………a real role model for the young black male…..nice address…..
I Read It This Morning… And, The Survey At The Time Was An Astonshing 57% of People Saying YES He Deserves It. Spike Had His Time & We Loved His Movies As Well, Especially Malcolm X
Why do they have to be a Spielberg or James Cameron?! How come the just can’t be an excellent director who happens to be black?!
ROFLMFAO!!!!!!! That’s funny Kissy
If you knew what type of movies they put out, you’d understand my point. Name a black director that does their type of movies. I didn’t say they had to be them smh.
Good for Tyler.. not a huge fan, but definitely respect the self-made hustle.. Dr. Phil 80 mil? who knew?!!
Parents should be young kids inspiration not some celebrity or athlete! You don’t know these folks personally so why would you try to be like them?! Teach your children to be their own inspiration or role model not some stranger they’ll probably NEVER meet!!!!

@Tywan there are black directors like that! They just don’t get any support from black viewer! I know what type of movies they make!!! And don’t really care their movies!!!
My feelings on tylér perry are similar to spike’s. He constant negative depiction of the darkér skin tone black man is just one of the many beefs that i havé. I cant hate because he films some of his moviè in my uncle house old house in the atl.. But he never hås done a movie with strong man
rothflmao
rothflmao
Smh they ENTIRE media puts out bad things about black people as a WHOLE! So don’t blame Tyler for that! Didn’t Spike make it seem light skin is better in school daze?! Black is black regardless of skin color!!! Yall quick to down Tyler but everybody was quick to support Tupac, and how did his ass turn out?! If anything young black boys are looking at these dumb rappers and emulating them not Tyler!
Get off your black power soapbox, you’re left field and dead wrong. You can’t name one black director that has done the types of flicks that James Cameron has. All i’m saying is i’d like to see one who does because I know they exist somewhere. Raising the black fist and straight up dead wrong smh.
Tyler need to make mlkj movie………he living in atl or he scare he loose his crossover fans……………
James Cameron has put out bull crap watch pocahontas and tell me it aint the same as avatar! I’m not on a black power trip so shut that ish up! Stop being a brow noser! Go to the black film festival and you SEE a diverse group of Directors!
Spike lee went militant=no $$$
Tyler Perry put on a dress=mo $$$
Ijs don’t throw fruit at me! I love them both…lol
I love Tyler and his movies. i am happy of his success.
@Aijalon Mims ~ I Agree With You 100% Why Do We Have To Compare Our Race To Others Accomplishments… The Gross On His Films & Highest Paid Man Has Proven We Don’t Need Anyone’s Approval…
I mean lose his pop fans…..
Like I stated you can’t name one.
I love tyler his movies always have a powerful message behind “the dress” and drama stop hating he’s,making $$
@Kenneth Anderson ~ Name Some Strong Black Men Movies That Have Put Us In A Postive Light… Sorry, I Can’t Think Of Them Right Now.
I love tyler perry if I have a date with him and be able to work with him would be great.
Good for him. Spike Lee, you had your shine time….so sit it down. And yes We meed more Like him. And yes- we do need other types… more created jobs, plus more opportunities for blacks.
Cant hate the hustle…white ppl have always enjoyed the ‘minstrel show’…he just figured out a way to exploit black ppl via film…but we dont see it…this is just a perfect example of ‘the willie lynch syndrome’…the feminizing of black men was a critical piece in the letter (see how to raise a slave)…women are critical in this equation…im NOT BLAMING WOMEN…but you dont see men in large groups going to see his films…basic divide and conquer…a man dressed as a woman…okay we have had other actors in drag…but how many had children in the roles they played?? (the browns)…its not hollywood…its hollyWIERD…ijs.
i wonder if mainstream media start to take notice and stop having the token moinority in their movie!! when i watched Karate kid (2010) i saw a great diverse movie viewers than i have ever seen. If only they knew they are not targeting their right audience. minoritoies watch the most movies and television.
Like I said before ruff & tuff with my afro puffs went Malcolm Plexx, I would love to see black directors like the two I stated. The way that they get to use science and technology is like that. That’s why I support the Underworld franchise, the black dude with the deep voice in the movie wrote that.
DAMNED IF YOU DO (BY BLACKS), DAMNED IF YOU DON’T… CAN’T WIN! SMDHOFFF
Good for him. Spike Lee, you had your shine time….so sit it down. And yes We meed more Like him. And yes- we do need other types.. CREATING more opportunities for black actors
Blak female always say….. overlook his dress for his feman address………..

Tywon look that ish up! You the one that wants to watch movies like that not me!
Tylers movies don’t make people look bad! Some black people do a GREAT job without the help of Tylers movies!!!!
Any Haters Would LOVE To Exchange Places With Tyler Perry ~ DRESS & All.
Anyway @Tymon my hair doesn’t make me more “pro black” “afrocentric” or “militant”!!!! I was like this when my hair was fried dyed and laid to the side!
@Aijalon Mims ~ Fried, Dyed & Laid To The Side ~ ROTFLMBAO
If Tyler’s movies are the only ones that you want to see that’s your right, don’t worry about my wanting another director to come up like he did. —->
I watch all types of Movies Tywon! Especially Marvel movies! I just don’t like when people try to blame things on folks that aren’t contributing to a problem! Do you get this mad at gangs, violence, out of wedlock babies, prostitution, pollution, or drug dealers?!
Cause all of that makes black folks look bad! Not some lil movies Tyler does!
Where Is The Love Right Now On This Topic Cuz I Ain’t Feeling It… Can’t We Just All Get Along.
Its all love I’m not mad @Tywon
Yeah i luv to sell my soul…………..
Mad at Tyler? You don’t comprehend too well. Peace.
I’m pretty sure Spike isn’t angry at this whatsoever. He understands the game. And he understands the politics of being on the Forbes magazine cover. It has nothing to do with money, but more about creating a false image with the intent to influence the ignorant. He’s being rewarded for being the best sheep herder.

Damn. I agree with Tywon. I myself don’t watch a lot of black movies cause I am tired of watching movies that are JUST LIKE paid in full or Boyz N the Hood. Black directors and writers have given up on trying to do new things, they just give the public a repeat of what they already liked. Tyler keeps producing the same kind of movie. either the momma is on drugs or dating a drug dealer and her good baby father is trying to save her. Or a good woman with a no good man finds a good man but she dont trust him because she’s been done soooo wrong by the previous man. I could care less about the dress, he was funny. Madea made some good points, but I just want to see Tyler diversify. We get the message on keeping God in our lives, now can you give us another message? How about showing more entrepeuners[sp], or telling a different story. I’m black, I didn’t grow up around pimps hoes and hoods. Can we have something for the middle class?

And School Daze was not about how light skinned people were better. It was showing how black people keep thinking that light is right, but we’re all black. Funny thing is Spike thinks like you Aijalon, all he wants is to educated black people and show that ALL black is beautiful.
Man spike had his time, Once upon a time everything was spike. Though I’m not a fan of tyler Let perry shine.
Glad Tyler is getting money and putting black folks to work. I even like some of his movies however I think he needs to go on a limb and diversify what he puts out. I don’t watch a lot of church plays for the same reason. Everything is recycled from whomever is hot at the moment. You want good black film check out Mooz-lum or a series like Chrysalis: An Urban Web Series
Well maybe the black communtiy should give Tyler some new material! Tell these baby mommas and daddy’s to stop having kids outta wedlock! Tell these bums to stop selling drugs! Tell these niggas to stop going to prison! Tell these bebe’s kids to finish high school and go to college!!!

[...] Highest Paid Movie Producer in Hollywood Tyler Perry understands that love is shown with money. He also went out of his way to show Oprah [...]
