    Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry just added another bullet point to his résumé: real-estate record holder. Perry’s French Provincial–style manor in Atlanta just sold for $17.5 million, breaking the city’s record for most expensive residential sale, reports the Atlanta Business Chronicle, which notes that the previous highest sale was a Buckhead estate that sold for $10.5 million in 2009. Perry’s home was built in 2008 with careful attention to detail. Set on 17 parklike acres along the Chattahoochee River, the property is only 3.5 miles from the city’s historic Buckhead Village and 15 miles from the Dekalb Peachtree Airport. If this house is any indication, wherever Perry moves next is sure to be exquisite.
