The 50-year-old mogul celebrated the achievement Saturday night  at the gala opening of the Studio in Atlanta Georgia.. Spike Lee, Oprah, Beyonce, Halle Berry and Cecily Tyson were just some of the Celebrities in attendance.

In an interview with Essence, he spoke on the importance of knocking down doors and building legacies.
“You know what? It feels like encouragement, it feels like gratitude. But more than anything, I hope it becomes, for everybody else who is ever dreaming and hoping, they can do it too,” Perry told the magazine. 

According to WSB, Perry built 12 sound stages, each named after black pioneers in the arts. The stages are all available for other Hollywood studios to rent.
