Producer, writer and actor Tyler Perry has made a tidy $1.1 million profit flipping his Beverly Hills mansion. He owned the home for less than nine months.
Mr. Perry, 48, purchased the property, which was built in 1992 for medical technology inventor Alfred Mann, for $14.5 million in August 2017. He listed it for $16.995 million in February. According to data from Redfin, he sold the house last week for $15.6 million.
The star and creator of the "Madea" movie series bought the 10-bedroom, 11-bathroom house at a discount. The modern home had been on the market for more than a year, with a starting asking price of $29.95 million. Mr. Perry bought it for $1.45 million below the final asking price of $15.95 million.
