Along with that stardom came a substantial amount of wealth. He’s reportedly a billionaire, but Tyler doesn’t keep the riches all to himself. Instead, he’s incredibly generous with his money and helps those in need. Tyler Perry takes care of many people, including the Turpin children. Those who follow true crime may remember David and Louise Turpin and the 13 children they subjected to horrific abuse.

Tyler Perry Saw A Need And Helped The Turpin Family
Tyler isn’t one to toot his own horn about his good deeds. Thankfully, he has good friends like Oprah Winfrey to do that for him. During the Paley Honors Fall Gala in Beverly Hills, California, Tyler was honored for his media achievements, People reported. Oprah decided to give a nod to her friend’s generosity. When the Turpin kids needed help, Tyler Perry jumped right in.
“Tyler saw that special, and he reached out, and until this moment, no one has known that Tyler Perry has been taking care of those now almost grown children, making sure they have the financial, the psychological, and the emotional support to grow themselves forward,” Oprah said.
She called her friend a “fixer” and a “healer,” in addition to being a renowned entertainer.
The Turpin children didn’t know Tyler Perry, and he didn’t know them, but he saw a need and helped. Oprah remarked, “Most of his charity, no one ever sees or hears about. The majority of people watch the news and they think, ‘Oh, what a shame,’ [but] Tyler watches and says, ‘What can I do to make a change?'”
