I was listed as one of The Bosses of The Decade by Jet Magazine alone with the likes of Berry Gordy, Cathy Hughes, Bob Johnson, Quincy Jones and others. This list of trailblazing entertainment power players has made history and billions in the entertainment industry. I have amassed over 2 billion dollars in record sales cumulatively over the course of my career; maximizing the operating performance of organizations and helping them to achieve their financial goals is my strong suit. I was also honored as "An American Icon" by Rep. Shelia Jackson-Lee at the U.S. House of Representatives for my many contribution and service to the music industry. In other ventures, I am one of only two African Americans to have ownership of a car entrant into the prestigious Indianapolis "INDY 500" race.
