Tyler Perry might be one of the richest men in Hollywood, but it wasn't always that way as he was homeless at one point in his life. Tyler had a hard life growing up, as his dad was abusive and he was sexually assaulted. He even attempted to take his own life before he dropped out of high school. He wanted nothing more than to be a writer, so he worked some odd jobs and saved up money to move out to Atlanta and start his career.
