@science.nature: When Tyler Perry’s mother passed away in 2009, the billionaire filmmaker made a tough decision that shocked his family. While his mother was alive, Perry had financially supported several relatives at her request. But after her death, he decided he could no longer keep supporting them indefinitely. He sent them letters giving them 60 days to find jobs, warning that he would no longer continue paying their expenses. Surprisingly, Perry revealed that they all eventually found work. He explained that the jobs weren’t necessarily high-paying, but earning their own money gave them something important, independence and a sense of pride. For Tyler Perry, helping family didn’t mean paying for everything forever. He wanted them to learn to stand on their own feet rather than depend on his wealth.
