The movie and TV mogul behind Madea and other hit properties earned $130 million in a year, besting Jerry Bruckheimer and Steven Spielberg.

Playing an argumentative, plus-sized woman has been a lucrative endeavor for Tyler Perry, who Forbes magazine on Monday named “entertainment’s highest paid man.”

Perry raked in $130 million in 12 months starting May 1, 2010, according to Forbes, not only from royalties associated with his Madea movie franchise but also through TV shows Meet the Browns and House of Payne and various other projects.

Well Hallelujer! LOL. I'm happy for him. I know he came up from being homeless to where he is now. God bless him.

I'm happy for his success too. I'm happy to see any poor black person get a lot of money for working. He gets dissed often from what i've seen on a few websites by blacks who don't like his movies. Spike Lee also has dissed him and Spike needs to stop dissing him and be happy for his success. Spike doesn't like him because he thinks his movies are buffoonish and ghetto. I think Spike is mad because he hasn't made a movie in a long time and his movies don't make as much money as Tyler's LOL.
