TYLER PERRY’S ATLANTA HOME!

Tyler Perry is now living the American Dream - a dream he made happen through perseverance and overcoming some long odds. Trapped for many years in an impoverished and abusive childhood including a suicide attempt, Tyler began writing plays to calm the demons - a method he learned from watching his favorite TV program, the Oprah Winfrey Show. He wrote mostly about himself and his relatives and friends but the plays were such financial disasters that he almost gave up. Tyler continued to plug away, doing his shows primarily for African-American audiences on the East Coast until he finally found some success. His plays eventually led to film where he did everything - writing, acting and directing. After he developed his beloved Madea matriarch character, Tyler became one of Hollywood’s top money makers with his own film studio in 2006. He went from being an Oprah fan to an Oprah partner at the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2012.Tyler is the first filmmaker in history to have five films open at #1 in five years beating the records of Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Quentin Tarantino. His thirteen most popular films have grossed over $600 million at the box office but cost less than $10 million to make. By being independent with his own studio and filling the major roles himself, Tyler has been able to rake in a larger share of the profits.With films such as the Madea series, Madea’s Family Reunion and Madea Goes to Jail, and with his new success on Oprah’s network with the blockbuster hit The Haves and Have Nots, his annual income is somewhere between $100 million to $150 million.During the years of his growing success, Tyler understood the value of real estate and has bought and sold real estate across the country. Currently focusing on the Atlanta area where he lives and found most of his success, Tyler has acquired over 1,000 acres where he plans to build his new home. He recently put his current Atlanta mansion on the market.The penultimate for the person who has everything but still wants more, Perry’s French provincial mansion is perched atop 17 acres with views over the Chattahoochee River off Paces Ferry Road in the upscale Buckhead community of Atlanta.
