With a Godmother like Oprah Winfrey, one would expect that Tyler Perry’s only son, Aman, would be spoiled by the luxuries of his super rich family. But, the man, who is ranked as one of the richest entertainers in the world, leans heavily on his humble upbringing and keeps his son grounded with lessons in gratitude and humility that he learned from the “living Hell” he knew as a child.
Perry–who grew up in poverty with repeated lashings from his own father–is determined to be a supportive and loving dad to his own son, all the while, teaching him “about the struggle.”
Tyler Perry, who has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, is a celebrated actor, writer, and producer known for his slapstick humor in film and television. His portrayal of the hilarious and brash character Madea–a tough elderly African American woman–gained him widespread recognition for a role that crossed performances on stage, film and TV.
The highly decorated entertainer, who has honors from the Academy and Primetime Emmy Awards, is praised as a visionary in the industry, a position he worked hard to achieve.
