As of my last update, Tyler Perry acquired a controlling stake in the media company BET (Black Entertainment Television) in October 2021. The deal was valued at approximately $250 million. However, the exact amount Tyler Perry paid personally versus the structure of the deal, which may have included other investors or financial arrangements, is not publicly detailed in the information available up to that point. It’s also important to note that deal values can include various assets and liabilities, and not just a straightforward cash payment.
