Here’s How Much Tyler Perry Pays Actors: More Than DISNEY!
Feb 24, 2025
Tyler Perry has long been known for breaking Hollywood norms, and if recent reports are to be believed, he’s also one of the most generous filmmakers when it comes to paying his actors. While major studios like Disney have been criticized for low salaries, Perry allegedly ensures that his lead actors—even lesser-known ones—receive multi-million dollar paychecks for their work.
Let’s break down the alleged salaries of actors in some of Perry’s biggest recent projects and compare them to what Disney reportedly paid stars like Chadwick Boseman and Halle Bailey.
Is Tyler Perry Paying Actors More Than Disney?
Hollywood pay disparity has long been a topic of discussion, with major studios being called out for underpaying Black actors despite massive box office successes.
For instance, reports claim that:
Chadwick Boseman was only paid $500,000 for his role in Black Panther (despite the movie grossing $1.3 billion worldwide).
Halle Bailey allegedly earned just $1.5 million for playing Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
Meanwhile, Tyler Perry, who operates outside the traditional studio system, is rumored to be paying lead actors millions per film—even those without A-list Hollywood status.
