Tyler Perry Is Officially a Billionaire!

American actor and producer Tyler Perry’s net worth has made him the newest official member of the 3-comma club, according to a new Forbes report detailing his rise from being “poor as hell” to “rich and powerful.”

The numbers are in, and here’s a breakdown of how Forbes is calculating Tyler’s milestone net worth:

— $320 million for his entire library of movies, TV shows, plays, etc., as he owns 100% of the content he’s created

— $300 million in cash and investments

— $280 million for Tyler Perry Studios, which sits on 330 acres in Georgia

— $60 million for his equity stake in BET+, the streaming service that debuted last year.

— $40 million in homes and toys

Add it all up … and that’s a cool $1 billion. Not bad for a guy who once slept in his car
