Scott Lynn
Scott Lynn is the founder and CEO of Masterworks, the New York fintech that files paintings by Basquiat, Banksy, Picasso and Warhol with the SEC and sells shares of them to retail investors. A serial internet entrepreneur who started his first company at 15 in Kansas City, he was already a top-100 U.S. art collector before he decided the art market itself needed a public offering.
Michael Ovitz
Michael Ovitz is the most powerful talent agent in Hollywood history and co-founder of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which he built from a $21,000 bank loan into the dominant force reshaping how entertainment deals are made. After departing with a $140 million severance from Disney's presidency, Ovitz reinvented himself as a Silicon Valley investor and advisor, backing Palantir, helping architect Andreessen Horowitz, and investing in 200+ companies. At 79, he remains a live wire: he reportedly convinced Bill Ackman to pursue a $64 billion takeover of Universal Music Group and is slated to become its chairman.
