Tyler Perry Is Forbes' Highest-Paid Man in Entertainment
Forbes has come out with its annual list of the highest-paid men in entertainment -- just about five weeks after it published its list of highest paid actors (Leonardo DiCaprio topped that list) -- and heading the pack is producer-writer-director-actor Tyler Perry, with $130 million earned between May 2010 and May 2011. Perry is a one-man cottage industry, with plays, movies and TV series to his credit. On his bio for 2010-11: 'For Better or Worse' TV series (in pre-production), 'A Madea Christmas,' 'Madea's Big Happy Family,' 'For Colored Girls' and 'Why Did I Get Married Too?' The only other movie-related big-wigs on the list are Jerry Bruckheimer (with $113 million) and Steven Spielberg (with $107 million). The only actor, not surprisingly, Leonardo DiCaprio, with $77 million. See the full list ahead. 1. Tyler Perry ($130 million) 2. Jerry Bruckheimer ($113 million) 3. Steven Spielberg ($107 million) 4.
