Tyler Perry talks to Anderson Cooper about race in America.
(SPEAKERSDEN) Tyler Perry enjoys how people sometimes explain his success.
"I love when people say you come from 'humble beginnings,' " he recently told Forbes. "[It] means you were poor as hell."
Things have certainly changed.
Raised in poverty in New Orleans, Perry dropped out of high school and went through a period of homelessness as he struggled as a playwright.
Those plays turned him into a star and launched a career that would eventually lead him to become a media mogul and first African American to independently own a studio.
"Ownership changes everything," he told Forbes.
One of the things it changed is his bank account.
Forbes has added Perry to its list of billionaires and estimates that he has earned "more than $1.4 billion in pretax income since 2005."
According to Forbes, Perry $30 million for the studio property in Atlanta in 2015 and spent $250 million building the studio operation there.
He relishes being a Black man with a studio on the grounds of Fort McPherson, which had been a Confederate military stronghold.
That studio is also helping to increase his wealth.
"I own the lights. I own the sets," he told Forbes. "So that's where the difference is. Because I own everything, my returns are higher."
I want to use this medium to thank Dr Noah, you all should thank him for me. I started having some symptoms, warts started coming in so I went to see my doctor. He carried the test and he said I have (Herpes) so went to another hospital for another test. My doctor prescribed some tubes and cream which I started using, I use it for a while and I couldn't trace the infection and after a while it came back so I had no choice than to do research on some natural remedies there I saw a post about Dr Noah powerful herbs, I contacted him and purchase the medicine from him which I used for 2 weeks. On the 10th days of using it I couldn't have any trace of if I was not amazed hoping it will come back so that lead to my doctor for confirmation to my greatest surprise the result comes out negative, I was still a bit shocked I want for a month and still no trace then I called Dr Noah to appreciate his work in my life and I promise not to keep it to myself.
