Tommy Mottola

Mottola's greatest achievement is arguably the commercial empire he built at Sony Music, where revenue grew from $800 million to $6 billion under his watch. He personally oversaw the sale of 8 billion units worldwide. His Hollywood Walk of Fame star places him among the industry's most recognized figures. He also holds the distinction of being one of the few executives to successfully bridge the gap between mainstream pop and Latin music, opening doors for artists like Marc Anthony and Thalía.
