Tyler Perry Is Forbes' Greatest-Compensated Guy in Entertainment

Forbes has come forth with its annual listing of the greatest-compensated males in entertainment -- nearly five days after it released its listing of greatest compensated stars (Leonardo DiCaprio capped that list) -- and heading those is producer-author-director-actor Tyler Perry, with $130 million gained between May 2010 and could 2011. Perry is really a one-guy cottage industry, with plays, movies and TV series to his credit. On his bio in 2010-11: 'For Better or Worse' TV series (in pre-production), 'A Madea Christmas,' 'Madea's Large Happy Family,' 'For Colored Girls' and 'Why Did I Got Married Too?' The only real other movie-related large-hairpieces out there are Jerry Bruckheimer (with $113 million) and Steven Spielberg (with $107 million). The only real actor, not remarkably, Leonardo DiCaprio, with $77 million. Begin to see the full list ahead. 1. Tyler Perry ($130 million) 2. Jerry Bruckheimer ($113 million) 3. Steven Spielberg ($107 million) 4. Elton John ($100 million) 5. Simon Cowel ($90 million) 6. James Patterson ($84 million) 7. Dr. Phil McGraw ($80 million) 8. Leonardo DiCaprio ($77 million) 9. Howard Stern ($76 million) 10. Tiger Forest ($75 million The other Hollywood-types do you experience feeling ought to be about this list? George Clooney? Kaira Pitt? Leave your ideas below.
