Free money distribution, even to his own family, is not Tyler Perry’s business.
In the June 20 episode of the Den of Kings podcast, the 55-year-old entrepreneur and filmmaker opened up about how he once fired his aunt for consistently missing work.
Perry remembered, “She kept asking me for money, and I’d send it.” “Let me give you a job,” I said. I’m not simply interested in your well-being; I want to help you create something. However, she stopped attending and frequently failed to phone in. “All right,” I answered, “you must leave.” You want me to give you money, but you refuse to work, which is inconvenient for me.
Perry claims he’s using the same ideas at home. Perry and his ex-partner Gelila Bekele have a 10-year-old kid named Aman.
Perry clarified that if he wants something, he must work for it by performing duties. Giving too much can make someone disabled. The worst thing you can do is that.
He said that he would provide financial support to family members at his mother’s request while she was still living. But he drew a hard line following her death in 2009.
I wrote letters to everyone telling them they had sixty days to find meaningful employment. He declared, “I won’t continue to support you in this manner.” They all found employment. Not high-paying positions, but positions in which one can take pride. I would also like that for myself.
In spite of his achievements According to Forbes, Perry has a net worth of $1.4 billion. His family has been tense since he won’t give out money.
He disclosed that I made a family member angry by refusing to pay them a million dollars.
Perry made all of his wealth on his own. All of the content he has produced, including the profitable Madeafranchise, which has made over $660 million, is his property.
He said, “I worked for everything I have,” and he wants everybody around him to follow suit.
