Tyler Perry Offers to Buy American Airlines for Whopping $5B?

Will there be any significant changes to flying the friendly skies with American Airlines if "Madea" creator, Tyler Perry has actually purchased the struggling airline?

Can it be true? Did television & movie producer/director Tyler Perry make a whopping offer to buy American Airlines? Media reports state Perry offered American Airline officials nearly $5 billion and that the offer was quickly accepted by airline officials.

Last month word that the airline giant filed petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York hit the Internet. The airlines parent company, Texas-based AMR Corporation made the announcement stating that the move was inevitable in order for the airline to achieve "a cost and debt structure that is industry competitive," ABC News reported.

Perry's web site makes no mention of the mega sale. His last tweet, dated December 4 mentioned taking a trip to the Potters House with talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey, but nothing about buying an airline yet.

  1. Love it Tyler if its true. I think we can expect classic changes nothing extreme. Im sure we'll get first look at new TP movies; more leg room (brother man is about as tall as me) for our money and better snacks and meals...maybe? Congrats, Tyler!
