Tyler Perry Buys $30 Million Puerto Rico Mansion After Listing $57M California Estate
Key Takeaway: Tyler Perry has closed on a $30 million Puerto Rico mansion, weeks after putting his $57 million California estate on the market, as he plans a 2027 island move.
Tyler Perry has bought a $30 million mansion in Puerto Rico, weeks after listing his $57 million California estate. Realtor.com reported the purchase on 20 October 2026, describing a 14,475-square-foot home on a 1.47-acre lot inside a gated community.
The Puerto Rico purchase
The five-bedroom, 10-bathroom home was built in 2021 and comes with a movie theatre, a resort-style pool, a gym and a chef’s kitchen. The purchase was first reported by TMZ, and Baller Alert reported that People has since confirmed it.
Perry, 57, shared his plans on Today with Jenna and Sheinelle in September: relocating at the start of 2027 to spend more time with his 11-year-old son, Aman. “Yep, moving to Puerto Rico at the top of the year, and I’m pulling back a whole lot,” Baller Alert reported.
Insiders told TMZ that Perry plans to open a production office on the island and film projects there, Realtor.com reported. His Atlanta studios are not going anywhere, according to Baller Alert.
The $57 million California listing
The purchase comes mere weeks after Perry listed his nine-bedroom, 15-bathroom California property on 29 September. The 24,592-square-foot home, built in 2012, is listed with Santiago Arana of The Agency.
The listing describes the property as an “extraordinary expression of privacy, security, and exclusivity.” “Conceived on a grand architectural scale, this landmark residence balances timeless grandeur with thoughtful functionality, creating a true trophy property for the most discerning collector of fine real estate,” the listing adds, Realtor.com reported.
Perry bought the California land in 2004 for $4.3 million and completed the mansion in 2012. The estate has hosted Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who stayed there in 2020, according to The News.
Why Puerto Rico
Perry explained that getting older prompted the move: “Getting older [inspired this]. It’s time to slow down a bit, enjoy more time with my son, and just take it all in.” according to The News.
Beyond Puerto Rico and California, Perry’s portfolio includes a private island in the Bahamas, a Jackson, Wyoming home listed for $39.5 million in June, and a 1,200-acre Atlanta property near Tyler Perry Studios, according to The News and Realtor.com.
