Tyler Perry
Although Tyler Perry may have made headlines when he donated $1 million to the NAACP, Tyler Perry knew that he would automatically help fund a charity that has helped many like himself lead successful careers.
“Had it not been for the perseverance and vision of the thousands who came before me in the 100 years of this legendary organization, I would not be in the position I am today.”
Today, his films have grossed over $400 million worldwide, and he has opened the first movie studio owned by an African American.
