    How Atlanta’s Tyler Perry Became A Billionaire

    3 Min Read

    Has Tyler Perry bought BET? There’s no official word yet. What is widely known is that Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry is now a billionaire.

    The “Madea” creator has made a series of shrewd business decisions over the last 20 years to grow his religious plays into culturally relevant full-length movies with moral endings.

    How Tyler Perry Became A Millionaire

    Most of Perry’s wealth is tied into his content, which he owns outright. A quarter of his worth comes from Tyler Perry Studios, which he bought from the city of Atlanta and transformed into a historic movie house.

    The actual breakdown of Perry’s wealth is this:

    • Cash and Investments — $300 million
    • Stake in BET+ — $60 million
    • Homes and Toys — $40 million
    • Film Library — $320 million
    • Tyler Perry Studios — $280 million

    Perry says he was told that the audience he was catering to wouldn’t be able to support full-feature films.

    “ ‘Black people who go to church don’t go to the movies,’ ” Perry told Forbes that he was told back then. “I came from a place where Black people had already embraced me and loved me. I was completely happy there, and still am.” 

     
    Perry joins an exclusive list when it comes to being one of the richest businessmen in the state. Here is Georgia’s billionaires club.

  • Tyler Perry to direct Six Triple Eight movie for Netflix

    Tyler Perry To Direct WWII Epic For Netflix; Casting Has Begun

    3 Min Read

    Atlanta filmmaker Tyler Perry has hired an all-star cast for his WWII-era period piece called Six Triple Eight, which is about the 6888th battalion, the only all-black all-female battalion in World War II.

    Big star Oprah Winfrey and Kerry Washington, who will also executive produce, have joined the film, which will initially stream on Netflix.

    The film is based on an article by Kevin M. Hymel published in WWII History Magazine

    Tyler Perry Directing Six Triple Eight For Netflix

    According to a synopsis from Netflix, Six Triple Eight tells the inspiring true story of the incredible and brave women of the only all-black, all-female World War 2 Battalion. These 855 women joined the war effort with little knowledge of what exactly they would be doing, but were quickly given the mission of a lifetime: sort through and fix the three-year backlog of undelivered mail.

    The women rose to the task and succeeded in the face of discrimination, unfamiliar land, and a war-torn country. They persevered and sorted over 17 million pieces of mail, reconnecting American soldiers with their families and loved ones back home. The motto that kept them going each day was one they created themselves: “No Mail, Low Morale.” The women of the 6888 weren’t just delivering mail, they were delivering hope.

    Who Is Producing Six Triple Eight?

    Six Triple Eight is being executive produced by Peter Guber for Mandalay Pictures. Co-producers will be Nicole Avant for Her Excellency Productions; Keri Selig for Intuition Productions; Carlota Espinosa; Angi Bones and Tony Strickland for Tyler Perry Studios.

    Perry and Netflix are in the midst of a multi-project deal that has included A Madea Homecoming and A Fall From Grace, A Jazzman’s Blues, which all debuted on the streaming platform.

    It was announced in November 2022 that Perry had inked a four-picture deal with Amazon Studios.

    That means that in addition to holding casting calls, he’ll soon be hiring at his movie studio for the latest project and many more.

    How To Get Cast In Six Triple Eight

    Perry is currently casting for Six Triple Eight at his namesake studios in southwest Atlanta. Read this guide on how to apply for Tyler Perry casting calls.
