Becoming Tyler Perry

Media mogul reveals how he built his remarkable billion-dollar empire and what’s ahead

Tyler Perry, 39, has never marched to the beat of the drum. In fact, he’s literally walked in the opposite direction. Just take a look at his savvy business sense and you’ll get a glimpse of how he makes lucrative deals happen.

It amounts to $200 million coupled with automatic syndication. “I’m not good with business as usual,” said Perry, who owns 100 percent of his TBS television show. “I’m not good at fitting into a system that says this is how it should be, this is how it has to go.” (p. 72)
