Tyler Perry Buys Puerto Rico Mansion for Over 30 Million

Filmmaker and entertainment mogul Tyler Perry has purchased a luxury mansion in Puerto Rico for more than $30 million as he prepares to relocate to the island in early 2027 and reduce his professional commitments. The acquisition, confirmed by People and reported by multiple outlets, supports his plans to spend more time with his 11-year-old son while continuing to develop film and television projects.

According to TMZ and the San Juan Daily Star, the property measures 14,475 square feet and occupies nearly 1.4 acres within a gated community. Built in 2021, the residence has five bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a private movie theater, an open-concept kitchen, a swimming pool and a gym.

Reports cited by TMZ indicate that Perry intends to establish a production office in Puerto Rico and film projects on the island. His existing operations at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta will continue, allowing him to maintain his entertainment business while preparing for the move.

During a September appearance on NBC's "Today with Jenna & Sheinelle," Perry discussed his plans to move and reduce his workload. The interview preceded the mansion purchase and offered insight into the personal priorities behind his planned relocation.

"Yep, moving to Puerto Rico at the top of the year, and I'm pulling back a whole lot," Perry said during the interview, as reported by The Times of India and the San Juan Daily Star.

Perry, 57, explained that he wanted to change the pace of his life and devote more time to his son, Aman, whom he shares with model and activist Gelila Bekele. Perry and Bekele were in a relationship from 2009 to 2020.

In the same interview, Perry described how his priorities had evolved with age and emphasized the importance of spending more time with his family.

"It came with age. It's time to slow down a bit, spend more time with my son and simply enjoy everything that life brings," Perry said, according to The Times of India.

The Puerto Rico acquisition coincides with changes to Perry's property portfolio in California. In September 2026, he listed his Beverly Hills estate for $57 million, according to The Wall Street Journal, as cited by The Times of India and the San Juan Daily Star.

The Beverly Hills property spans 22.5 acres within a gated community and contains a nine-bedroom, 15-bathroom mansion measuring approximately 24,592 square feet. Perry bought the property for $4.3 million in 2004, and construction of the residence was completed in 2012.

The estate gained additional public attention in 2020 when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stayed there after stepping away from their senior roles in the British royal family and relocating to the United States. The couple later purchased a home in Montecito, California.

Perry also owns a home near Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, a production complex developed on a former military base. The San Juan Daily Star describes the studio property as a 330-acre complex, while other reports note that Perry's real estate holdings include a private island in the Bahamas.

His property portfolio has also included a residence in Jackson, Wyoming, which was listed for $39.5 million in June 2026, according to The Wall Street Journal, as cited by People.

Perry built his entertainment career as an actor, writer, director and producer and became widely known for creating the Madea character. His planned relocation to Puerto Rico is expected to combine a reduced workload with continued involvement in film and television production.
