4. Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry holds a net worth of $400 million, but his climb to fame is somewhat of an inspiration for many. While his pre-fame life was somewhat of a struggle, he managed to come out on top as one of the most successful actors in quite a long time. Growing up, Tyler Perry had a very pressured and abusive relationship with his father, which eventually led him to large bouts of depression. One day, while watching The Oprah WinfreyShow, he saw an idea that stayed with him. He learned the art of writing out his feelings and eventually came up with a play. He wanted to show the world his work and tried to, only to fail, sadly, and ended up sleeping in his car for quite some time. However, he was given another amazing chance to preview his play to the world, and this time, Perry didn’t waste any time in making sure he would succeed. The show sold out and after that night, Perry’s hard work started to pay off. Now, Tyler Perry has produced so many amazing movies that have spiraled into success and they are loved by fans all over the world.
