At the head of Endeavor, Ari Emanuel reigns over the world of entertainment and art. From sports betting to mixed martial arts to modeling, the businessman now has a fortune of one billion dollars.
Born in 1961 in Chicago, Ari Emanuel grew up alongside his sister and two brothers, Rham (former chief of staff to Obama and now mayor of Chicago) and Ezekiel (breast oncologist and head of the department of bioethics at the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health). “Raised in a family where education was a top priority, he had to read the newspaper every day to keep up with the news and defend his political opinions every night at the family table” tells The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity about Ari Emanuel, diagnosed as dyslexic and hyperactive in CE2.

Even today, he is the spokesperson for dyslexic disorders and ADHD (attention deficit with or without hyperactivity).
