Billionaire Tyler Perry gave his own family 60 days to find jobs or lose his financial support. Despite being worth an estimated $1.4 billion, he refused to keep supporting relatives who weren't working.
In the video below, Perry explains why he fired his own aunt and later gave other family members an ultimatum after his mother's death.
He wanted them to become financially independent instead of relying on his fortune.
One aunt regularly called asking for money, and Perry kept sending it until he offered her a job. But she repeatedly called in and failed to show up for work, so he eventually fired her.
His mother had also asked him to support other relatives, and he continued helping them while she was alive. After she died in 2009, Perry sent them letters giving them 60 days to find employment or lose his financial support.
According to Perry, every relative eventually found a job. He didn't care whether the jobs paid well because he wanted them to earn their own money and have something to feel proud of.
Perry also recalled a relative getting angry when he refused to hand over $1 million. He believed that continually giving money to people who refused to work was making their dependence worse.
A billionaire who could afford to support his entire family chose to make them earn their own living.
If you had $1.4 billion, would you keep supporting unemployed relatives or give them the same 60-day ultimatum?

Jensen Huang went to Tokyo to thank the man who gave him $5 million 30 years ago. Without that money, Nvidia would not exist.
In the mid-90s Sega was paying Nvidia to build the graphics chip for its next console.
But Nvidia had bet on the wrong technology. The industry was going the other way, and the chip was never going to work.
Jensen could keep building it and fail. Or quit and run out of money.
He went to Sega's president, Shoichiro Irimajiri, and told him the truth. Nvidia's approach was wrong. Sega should find another partner.
Then he asked Sega to pay anyway. Without that money, Nvidia was finished.
Irimajiri said yes. Sega put in $5 million.
Jensen later said it gave Nvidia six months to live. They used it to build a new chip, the RIVA 128. It sold over a million units and saved the company.
Nvidia is now worth over $4 trillion.
This summer Jensen stood in front of Irimajiri at a Sega arcade in Tokyo and thanked him.
Would you have told your customer the truth?

Dwyane Wade says Shaq changed his confidence immediately after arriving in Miami when he told him he’s going to make him a superstar
“Shaq put a different level of confidence in me. This is, we talking about one of the most dominant players to ever play the game of basketball. I just watched him go to the Finals three years in a row before he came down here. Right away he was like, ‘It’s your team. I got you. I’m going to back you up.’ Like, all the things that you want to hear, he said it right away. And then his actions was that.”
“He told me, he’s like, ‘I’m gonna make you, like, you’re really good. I’m gonna make you a superstar.’ And I’m sitting there like, ‘Okay, like, I’m a young kid.’ To watch him go out, give me a nickname, make sure that he protected me, make sure that anywhere we went I was always protected, not only by him, but by my entire team, that just made me want to do anything for those guys.”
“And so having a guy like that look at you and say, ‘Hey, you’re the next one. I’ve played with Penny. I’ve played with Kobe. You can be that good.’ Then I gotta believe that. And so, does the pressure come with that? Ten thousand percent. But also, I’ve never been a guy that has run away from any kind of pressure. I’ve dealt with a lot.”
“And so once again, I felt I was ready for it. I prepared myself my whole life to be ready for the unknown. And I felt like that was the unknown. I never thought I’d play with Shaq. Not in my second year. But right away, I knew the pressure was, ‘Oh, we got to win a championship.’”
“So I can’t come in, he ain’t coming here on that last tour. No, he’s still trying to get it. And so who’s going to be the person that got to help him get it? It’s got to be me. And so I had to go to another level.

FULL: 50 Cent REVEALS the harsh truth about diversity and how Tyler Perry had to build his own demographic to win in a white owned Hollywood👀🎬
He breaks down how difficult it is to get into the TV and film business because the industry isn't actually looking for diverse projects. 50 points out that Perry had to bring everything in house to succeed since the most profitable version of the entertainment world is white Hollywood and they only care about what successfully sells, He points out that his hit show Power dominated Black and Latino demographics for 13 years, but the Emmys completely ignored it.
"Look, the original Hollywood is white Hollywood. So the Hollywood that successfully sells the best is white Hollywood, they don’t care about diversity trust me, every other culture is conditioned to watch white entertainment, this is why we love Robert De Niro, Al Pacino”

Gary Myers reveals that Bill Parcells has secretly paid over $4,000,000 to 20 of his former players who were struggling financially because he believed they sacrificed to make him financially secure and there is no better way to spend the money
“Over the years, Parcells had loaned out a total of four million dollars to 20 of his former players who have come to him, I won't say destitute, but certainly having financial hardship.”
“And Bill sat down and wrote checks for about four million dollars, which to me is completely unprecedented in sports. I've never heard of anything like that. And I said, 'Bill, why would you do something like that? Why do you feel obligated?' And he explained to me that he set aside all the money he needs for, hopefully, another 30 years of his life.”
“He just turned 82. And he's given money to his three daughters and to his grandchildren, and then he has a certain amount of money left. And he says, 'What better way is there to do it than if some of my players who gave so much to me and helped make me a Hall of Fame coach and make me financially secure?”
“It was because of their hard work and me driving them to be the best they can be. They gave so much to me. Now that I'm in a position to help, and unfortunately they're in a position where they need help, why shouldn't I be the one to help?'”
“And, you know, people who remember Parcells, there's this hard-driving coach who had a love-hate relationship with his players. And now to see the transformation where he has become the patriarch of that team.”

Phil Jackson says he told Michael Jordan he needed to score less if he wanted to win a championship because scoring titles and championships don’t go together
“When I was given the job as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls, I brought Michael Jordan in to speak with me, and I said, ‘You know, you’ve averaged 37, 38, 36 points a game the last three years. You know, you’ve been the scoring champion, but if you look back at the history of the NBA, there hasn’t been a scoring champion for almost 15 years who’s won the championship. They don’t go together.’”
“‘And we need to take the focus off you, which is what teams now tilt their whole defense towards, stopping Michael Jordan, and open it up for the rest of our team. And it means you taking less shots a game. That’s important.’ And he stopped me and he said, ‘Are you going to run an equal-opportunity offense like Tex Winter’s been talking about?’”
“I said, ‘Yeah, I guess you could call it an equal-opportunity offense, but I’m not going to be calling the plays from the sideline. You guys are going to be reading it on the floor. So if the 24-second clock is running down and it becomes red, which is the call everybody makes when it’s under five seconds, we’ll teach the team how to get the ball to you at the end of that clock because then you can score.’”
“He said, ‘Well, I don’t think that I have to give up a scoring championship. I could score 32 points a game and still win a scoring championship. That’s only eight points a quarter.’ I said, ‘Michael, I had trouble scoring eight points a game when I was a player.’”
“‘But rather than scoring eight points a quarter, why don’t you save that for the fourth quarter and score 14 points in the fourth quarter and take us home? And you can do what you want to do during the early part of the game and then put the onus and the nail in the coffin in the fourth quarter to seal the deal.’ He kind of liked that idea.”
“And, you know, I think we lost two or three of our first games that we played in my first year coaching, and everybody had to kind of figure out how to do it, how to play together when the ball was dictating the action, when the passes were dictating what people would do, rather than a specific number for a player being called from the sideline. And I gave the team a little bit of authority, which is exactly what a coach wants to happen.”

In 1986, Steve Jobs paid George Lucas $10 million for a small computer graphics company. In 2006, Disney bought it for $7.4 billion in stock, and Jobs became Disney’s largest shareholder.
For years before Toy Story, that company paid its bills by making TV commercials. In the video below, Jobs explains why Pixar walked away from that business even though it was winning almost every award in it.
“It’s all work-for-hire,” he said. “You don’t share in any of the upside of what you create. You just get paid for the work once.”
If Listerine sold more Listerine because of a Pixar commercial, Pixar didn’t make a cent more.
More studios kept piling in, and the margins kept shrinking. “You work harder and harder to make the same amount of money,” Jobs said.
So Pixar pulled out, even though “we loved the commercials business.” It had 25 incredibly talented people doing work-for-hire while the studio had projects where it owned a piece of what it created.
He applied the same thinking to the people. Hollywood kept talent with contracts. Silicon Valley kept talent with stock. Pixar chose stock, so everyone shared the same goal and management had to keep earning their loyalty every day.
Then he pointed to Snow White. Disney re-released the 60-year-old film on video and sold 28 million copies, making probably around a quarter billion dollars in profit decades after the work was done.
A commercial pays once. A film you own can keep paying for 60 years.
Is your work paying you once, or do you own a piece of what you build?

Mark Zuckerberg has a mortgage
He was worth about $16 billion when he took it out. $5.95 million on his house in Palo Alto, at 1.05%
He could have paid cash for that house 2,000 times
Jay-Z and Beyoncé bought an $88 million house in Bel Air and borrowed $52.8 million of it
Elon had $61 million in mortgages on five houses in California
None of them needed the money
Inflation was running higher than 1.05% the year Zuckerberg signed. The bank was paying him to hold its money. His own cash stayed in Facebook stock, which went up about 20x after that
Every rich person plays it the same way. Their money stays where it grows. The bank's money pays for the house, the jet and the next company. And borrowed money isn't income, so none of it gets taxed
Nobody is offering you 1.05% on a mansion
They are offering you something cheaper. A 700 credit score gets $100,000 to $250,000 on business credit cards at 0% for 12 months. Zuckerberg paid 1.05%. You'd pay nothing for the first year
How to run it the way they do:
1. LLC and EIN. An afternoon and about $150
2. Business checking at the banks you're going to apply to
3. Personal cards paid down before the statements close
4. Chase, Amex, US Bank and Wells Fargo in the same week
5. Your cash stays in an account paying 4%+
6. The bank's money buys the thing that makes money. Equipment, inventory, a truck, a competitor who's retiring
7. Every 0% end date in your phone, 60 days early
Your uncle paid cash for his F-150 and calls it being smart with money
Zuckerberg had $16 billion and still made the bank buy his house

Mark Zuckerberg reveals why turning down a $1 billion buyout made his entire management team walk out on him
"One of the hardest parts for me was actually when Yahoo offered to buy the company for a lot of money... I mean a billion dollars"
"I was a couple of years in. And we had 10 million people using the product at the time. So it wasn’t as if it were obvious that we were going to succeed far beyond that"
"Dustin and I just decided, no, we think that we can actually go connect more than just the 10 million people who are in schools. We can go beyond that and have this really be a successful thing"
"for a lot of the folks who joined early on, they weren’t really aligned with me. For them, they joined and being able to sell a company for a billion dollars after a couple years was like a home run"
"I hadn’t been very good about communicating that we were trying to go for this mission... the fact that I didn’t communicate very well about what we were trying to do caused this huge tension"
"The part that was painful wasn’t turning down the offer. It was the fact that after that, huge amounts of the company quit because they didn’t believe in what we were doing. The whole management team was gone within about a year after that"

Mila Kunis called Uber "the worst idea ever." Ashton Kutcher and his partner invested $500,000 in the company. By 2016, that stake was worth roughly $50 million, according to Forbes.
In the video below, Kunis tells Stephen Colbert why she tried to talk her future husband out of investments like these.
Her family left Soviet Ukraine in 1991, when she was seven. In Los Angeles, her father, a trained engineer, worked as a cab driver.
Kutcher described Uber as a cab company where anyone could drive. He offered to order her a ride so she could try it. "You're going to put me in a car with a stranger? What is wrong with you?"
Then he told her about Bitcoin. She asked, "Is it FDIC insured?". Kutcher replied: "No. That's the point. It's not."
"I think this is a horrible idea," she recalled telling him. His response: "Cool, we're investing it."
At the beginning of 2013, Bitcoin traded below $100. During the week of her interview in April 2021, it traded above $50,000.
Kunis says she now books accommodation through Airbnb and takes Uber everywhere. "I've never been happier to be wrong."

Akon says He was shocked to discover that Eminem treats the studio like a professional job.
“He keeps a strict schedule arriving, taking lunch, and leaving at 5:00 p.m. sharp which influenced him to manage his own time better for the sake of his family”
“Akon revealed that he once worked in the studio for hours, sometimes staying there all night.”
“He thought that was what it took to succeed.”
Eminem would show up, work, take his lunch break, and leave at exactly 5 p.m.”
“And Akon couldn’t believe what he was seeing.”
“He actually went home while everyone else was still working!”
“Akon’s reaction?”
“‘Oh shit, he just went home while we was working?’”
“He realized he had been spending entire nights in the studio without necessarily getting more done.”

Jerome Bettis says when he finally made the super bowl he spent $250,000 on friends and family to get tickets and basically played in the game for free
My mom and dad had gone to every single game I ever played. Thirteen years, every game. My first three years I was in LA, they flew out for all the home games, and then all the road games, Atlanta, New Orleans, they flew every single week to every game for 13 years.”
“So I wanted to honor them because they had gone through this journey with me just like I did. I’m thinking, ‘Okay, how can I do this?’ So I reached out and said, ‘Listen, I’m trying to get a suite for the Super Bowl for my parents.’”
“I had a box in Pittsburgh, so I’m like, that would be the perfect thing, have a box in Detroit for the family. This is their moment too. So they reached out to the league, talked to the commissioner, and they said, ‘Okay, we can do it.’”
“I get 22 tickets for the box. Then because I had a box in Pittsburgh, I got another 15. Then you get to buy another 15, so I’m at 50-something already. And you’ve got to pay for them all.”
“I ended up with, I think, 70 tickets that I paid for at the Super Bowl. Not to mention this box. Everything goes off without a hitch. Beautiful. Wonderful. Then I get the bill. $250,000.”
“For the box. That wasn’t counting the other tickets. I was like, ‘What?’ I played this game for free. I played the whole playoffs for free. But you know what? You can’t get that moment back. You can’t get that moment back.”
“I lost my father that Thanksgiving. So he got a chance to see it. He was in his element, holding court, his baby boy doing his thing. I look back on it and I’m like, it was worth it. Worth every penny. It was worth every penny because he got an opportunity to see me become a champion.”

Tennessee offered DeSean Bishop a walk-on spot. No scholarship, pay your own way.
He resented it.
Saturday he scored the touchdown that beat Arkansas with 1:57 left.
Here is what he says saved him.
Start with Saturday.
Tennessee and Arkansas were tied at 17 with seven minutes to go. Bishop broke a 59 yard run to set up the end of it, then took it in from the 8 up the middle.
He finished with 19 carries for 138 yards. The Volunteers won 24 to 17 and they are 5 and 1.
The Saturday before that he ran for 220 yards against Auburn.
Now go back.
He is from Knoxville and he went to Karns High School, about 15 minutes from the Tennessee campus.
Two schools offered him a scholarship. Coastal Carolina and Appalachian State.
Tennessee offered him a place on the team and nothing else.
He has said he did not like it at first. He took it anyway.
He hurt his ankle and redshirted. He was the backup the next year and ran for 455 yards.
In January of 2025 Tennessee finally put him on scholarship.
That season he ran for 1,076 yards and 16 touchdowns and made second team All SEC. The Athletic now ranks him the eighth best draft eligible underclassman in the country.
Now here is the part that got away from everybody.
In July, at SEC Media Days in Tampa, an ESPN reporter named Peter Burns asked him about his faith. Burns asked because Bishop's teammate Arion Carter had told him to.
Here is some of what Bishop said.
"Man, I'll tell you, I wouldn't be here without it."
"My Lord and Savior has treated me very good. More than I honestly deserve."
And this about the road to it.
"I came up from a lot of tribs and trials just to get to the spot I am now."
Then he said this.
"When God swooped in and saved my life, it came with all this that I've received now, so all glory to Him."
He said he was saved from "a really dark place, a path of destruction that I was on."
He has never said what that was, and nobody has asked him to.
He also did not pretend it is finished.
"It's a daily battle," he said.
Then he turned it outward.
"I encourage you to at least try to find a relationship with him. It changes your life for the better."
The clip went everywhere, hundreds of thousands of views. Kirk Herbstreit reposted it. One writer called it the most important 90 seconds of the entire event.
So that is the kid who walked on at the school down the road from his high school and did not like the terms.
Saturday he carried it 19 times and scored the one that won it.

Mark Cuban says his receptionist stole $82,000 of the $84,000 his company had in the bank. When the bank called, he thought they’d caught her in time.
“You didn’t cash them, did you?”
“Of course we did. We’re a bank, sir.”
This was at MicroSolutions, his first company. The receptionist was supposed to put checks for their suppliers in envelopes and take them to the post office.
She used white-out to cover the recipients’ names, wrote in her own, and cashed the checks at the bank’s drive-through.
The company had $2,000 left. The suppliers were still waiting for their money.
Cuban and his partner had to call them and explain what had happened. They asked for time and promised they would get paid. The suppliers agreed to work with them.
The business survived. In 1990, Cuban sold MicroSolutions to CompuServe for $6 million.
Shannon Sharpe asks whether they pressed charges. Cuban says they couldn’t find her. As far as he knows, nobody ever did.
He’s a billionaire now, but when he tells this story, he still spells out her name.
I can understand why. The bank called him about checks with the recipients’ names covered in white-out, then explained that it had already paid them.
Would you have trusted that bank again?
