Tyler Perry, the Poor Billionaire??

Best known for his role as the gun toting, Bible quoting “Madea” Tyler Perry has continued to captivate us on stage, on screen and now off screen too. Tyler Perry has continued to be groundbreaking as a creative entrepreneur, with his most impressive move yet of building his own production complex.

Sitting on 330 acres of what used to be a confederate army base in Georgia, it is the largest production studio in America to this day! And its black owned. It’s the first studio to have one single namesake too.

Tyler Perry stands out for how efficiently he brings his concepts to life. While other companies may take months to film movies and shows, TP streamlines his process by housing all the talent on-site, using them in multiple roles, and filming back to back within a few weeks. With everyone in one place and another show or movie already set to film, this saves time and resources.

Heard of the movie “Black Panther” or the hit show “Walking Dead”? Both were filmed at Tyler Perry Studios.

With partnerships and distribution deals with Lionsgate, Netflix, Amazon, and more, Tyler Perry Studios brings in an estimated $12M a year.

And that’s just one source of income…
