Tyler Perry’s rise to Hollywood fame began in 2005 with the premiere ofDiary of a Mad Black Woman.

While Perry has since become a prolific actor, writer, director and producer with a net worth of roughly $1.4 billion, perForbes, he will forever be known as the man who created (and portrayed) Mabel “Madea” Simmons — a brutally honest, rambunctious grandmother. To date, Perry has played Madea in 12 films.

The filmmaker has toyed with the idea of hanging up the iconic character’s wig and wardrobe, but he eventually decided to keep Madea around because the American people “need to laugh,” as he said on hisInstagramin 2021. Fans can expect film No. 13,Madea’s Destination Wedding, to premiere on Netflix in 2025.
