Perry, 50, has not commented on the donations, and reportedly told stores to simply say the bills were paid by an anonymous \"angel.\"

The \"Madea\" franchise star has a history of quietly giving back. According to ABC Atlanta affiliate WSB-TV, he recently left a $500 tip for every server who found him or herself out of work at his local Houston's restaurant. His donations totaled $21,000.

Similarly, in December 2018, the movie mogul paid for layaway items at two Walmarts in Georgia. According to a Walmart representative, Perry wrote checks totaling approximately $430,000.

\"I was trying to do this anonymously, but due to some circumstances — y’all know nothing stays secret these days,\" he said at the time.
