Celebrity Homes: Tyler Perry Lists the Beverly Hills Estate Where Harry & Meghan Found Refuge — $57M and a Move to Puerto Rico
A Look Inside Luxury Transactions — October 2026
Some listings carry a single story. This one carries several — and every one of them belongs in the same conversation about what it means to build wealth, legacy, and a life in Los Angeles real estate over the course of two decades.
Tyler Perry — filmmaker, media mogul, and the man who built one of the most self-sufficient entertainment empires in American history — has listed his Beverly Hills estate at $57 million, represented by Santiago Arana of The Agency, as he prepares to trade Hollywood for Puerto Rico ahead of a planned move at the top of 2027. The decision is personal, not financial. “It’s time to slow down a bit, enjoy more time with my son and just take it all in,” Perry said on NBC. His son Aman is 11.
The math behind this listing is as impressive as the property itself. Perry purchased the Beverly Hills land in 2004 for $4.3 million and completed the estate in 2012 — a 22-year assembly that has produced a 13-fold mark-up before a single renovation dollar is counted.
Beverly Ridge Estates, Beverly Hills
Listed at $57,000,000
The estate sits within the guard-gated Beverly Ridge Estates community on 22.5 acres — a land holding that places this property in a category almost entirely its own within the Beverly Hills luxury tier. The Tuscan-Mediterranean main house spans approximately 24,592 square feet across 9 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, with a home theater, gym, music hall, wine cellar, game room, and multiple entertainment spaces that reflect two decades of a man who entertains at the highest level. A detached guesthouse, tea house, children’s cottage, library, arcade, and separate wet and dry saunas complete the compound. The grounds have hosted Oprah Winfrey, former President Barack Obama, and some of the most consequential private gatherings in recent Hollywood history.
And then there is the chapter of this property’s story that elevated it from a significant Beverly Hills estate to a globally recognized address: in early 2020, after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal duties and relocated to California, Perry opened his home to the couple and their son Archie — providing not just shelter but a private security operation at his own expense. “We needed a house and he offered security as well,” Meghan said during the couple’s landmark 2021 interview with Oprah. They remained at Perry’s estate for months before purchasing their own Montecito home for $14.65 million that summer. Perry later became godfather to their daughter Lilibet.
That provenance — genuine, documented, and attached to one of the most consequential royal transitions in modern history — is now part of what $57 million buys at this address.
Perry is not liquidating his empire. He is keeping his Atlanta mansion, his private island in the Bahamas, and most significantly, Tyler Perry Studios — the 330-acre former Army base in southwest Atlanta with 12 sound stages and sets that include a to-scale replica of the White House, acquired for $30 million in 2015 and now the most prolific independent production facility in American film and television. He has also listed his Jackson Hole, Wyoming retreat at $39.5 million, bringing the combined asking price of properties currently on the market to $96.5 million.
This is a man simplifying his footprint with the same intentionality he brought to building it. At $57 million on a $4.3 million cost basis over 22 years, the Beverly Hills chapter of that story closes with one of the most remarkable return profiles in the history of this market.
The buyer who walks through those gates next is not just acquiring 22.5 acres and 24,592 square feet. They are acquiring a compound that has sheltered presidents, royalty, and the most powerful names in American entertainment — and a land position that appreciated 13-fold before anyone started counting rooms.
