Multi-hyphenate media mogul Tyler Perry has shattered real estate records with the sale of his 17-acre Atlanta estate.

Perry, who is 46, is reportedly worth over $400 million. His name is such box-office gold that he puts it into the titles of the movies he directs. Here are a few of his most successful films, and how much they made: Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail ($90.5 million), Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection ($65.7 million) and Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion ($63.3 million).
