Ari Emanuel has worn many hats over his career, including Hollywood power broker, tech investor, pro wrestling executive and Donald Trump’s agent. Now, he has one more to add: billionaire.
Emanuel, 63, has a personal net worth of at least $1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which is valuing his wealth for the first time.
