  • Todd Boehly Makes Money by Thinking Inside the Box
    %THE DOW JONES BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL WEEKLY www.barrons.com APRIL 12, 2019 A Michael Milken protégé mixes annuities with stakes in the Los Angeles Dodgers and Hollywood Reporter. Todd Boehly Makes Money by Thinking Inside the Box By Mary Childs Photograph by Cole Wilson Todd Boehly’s visit to Topeka, Kan., wasn’t going as planned. It was one of his earlier trips in his negotiations to buy life insurer Security Benefit, but one dark morning in 2010 after his cab dropped him off, he found that the doors of his hotel did not open. The front desk was empty, his cab gone. A managing partner of the investment firm Guggenheim Partners, he walked across the highway to another hotel and took its last available room. But it reeked of smoke. So, wrapping himself in the hotel sheets, he walked outside to a park bench, laid down, and closed his eyes. That didn’t work either, so he went to Security Benefit’s offices at 5 a.m. and waited outside for it to open. On his next trip Boehly (pronounced “BO-lee”) stayed at the Eldridge Hotel, a 30-minute drive away in Lawrence, for a more reliable outcome. Boehly not only bought Security Benefit for Guggen- The simple version of Boehly’s method is that he builds heim that year, but he eventually also purchased the insurer a box and then puts assets in it. from his former employer. It’s now the center of a sprawl- “Most things are boxes that own things. And it’s not the ing constellation of investments overseen by Boehly’s firm box itself that’s good or bad—it’s what’s in the box,” Boehly Eldridge Industries.

JAMES ON A CHILLY FRIDAY MORNING in early spring, members of the D.C. United team mingle around high-top tables inside Vim and Victor, the ele- gant restaurant to the left of the entrance, where a coffee counter serves pressed juices, banana loaves, paleo cran- berry scones and breakfast sandwiches. The MLS soccer club’s black and red eagle logos can be spotted elsewhere in the 450,000-square- foot sports, wellness and entertainment complex, as players practice moves on the FIFA-regulation- size turf field and lift weights in the training room. School is out today, so there are also children shooting down slides in the indoor waterpark, scaling colorful climbing walls and tying on figure skates in one of the center’s two ice rinks. In the other, there’s a hockey clinic going on, while a man working on a laptop watches through a large window in the adjacent lounge. A golfer prac- tices his swing in one of six simulator bays, and in the health club, a woman relaxes in the sauna. I Another day, you might see a Washington Wizards basketball player shooting baskets next to a group of 7-year-old children in one of four basketball courts, which convert to nine volleyball courts. If your timing is right, gold medalist Katie Ledecky might be doing laps in the Olympic- size pool.

  • 1 Wall Street's Content Wars
    1 Wall Street’s Content Wars: Financing Media Consolidation Andrew deWaard University of California, San Diego Forthcoming, in Content Wars: Tech Empires vs. Media Empires. Ed. Denise Mann. Oakland, CA: University of California Press, 2021. Abstract If we frame the ongoing streaming transition occurring in the cultural industries as ‘content wars,’ with metaphoric ‘battlefronts’ in Hollywood, in Silicon Valley, and on Madison Avenue, then the silent arms dealer in this conflict is Wall Street and the investor class, whose financial engineering goes largely unacknowledged in studies of the media industries. This chapter will explore the impact of private equity in the American film, television, and music industries since 2004. The mercenaries of these content wars, private equity firms have enacted leveraged buyouts in every sector of the cultural industries: major music labels (Warner, EMI), radio networks (Cumulus, Clear Channel/iHeartMedia), film and television production and distribution companies (MGM, Miramax, Univision, Dick Clark Productions), exhibition (AMC, Odeon), the top talent agencies (CCA, WME, IMG), audience measurement (Nielsen), and the trade press (Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard). The arms race in this conflict is the ability to monetize content catalogues across streaming platforms, which is a lucrative opportunity for financialization. From a critical political economy of media perspective attuned to the significance of financial capital, this chapter demonstrates that the financialization of various components of the media sector is facilitating a dramatic extraction of value from the cultural industries, leaving further consolidation in its wake. Who is profiting from the streaming transition and who is losing out? The answers are the same as in the wider economy of the second gilded age: the wealthy are extracting private, untaxed profit from the public arena while the middle class of creatives is being hollowed out.

  • Private Equity Investment in Hollywood Is Booming
    Private equity investment in Hollywood is booming. Meet 13 players who backed hits from 'Knives Out' to 'Mare of Easttown.' By JP Mangalindan, Claire Atkinson, and Alison Brower July 15, 2021 Private equity investors are playing a larger role in showbiz as it recovers from the pandemic. Investments in media and telecom hit new heights during the first half of 2021, PwC research shows. From Apollo to Zelnick, these 13 private equity players are betting billions on Hollywood. The money never stops churning in Hollywood and entertainment, and private equity investors are now playing a bigger role in showbiz than ever as the industry recovers from pandemic shutdowns and production and deal-making rev up. "Theatricals were hit really hard, but there were a lot of success stories and transformations that occurred during the pandemic, and some of the private equities are trying to be opportunistic," said Bart Spiegel, media and telecom deals leader at PwC. Private equity investment in the media and telecom sector soared to new highs during the first half of 2021, according to PwC research, accounting for more than 170 deals and around $54.8 billion of deal value so far this year. Among the highest-drama moves, Silver Lake unloaded its stake in AMC Entertainment Holdings in January for $713 million, capitalizing on a Reddit-driven 10-fold rise in share prices and making one of the biggest exits in recent memory. With companies like Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine seeking a buyer at a $1 billion valuation, according to the Wall Street Journal, and LeBron James' SpringHill company also considering a sale (for around $750 million, the Information reported), industry experts told Insider they expect to see more private equity investment in talent-led shingles, despite the perceived risks in creative industries.
