When it comes to building a team in Hollywood, theres no one you should trust more than your business manager. These discreet, often press-shy money managers can help you decide whether to invest in that restaurant or take a bet on Bitcoin (hint: the answers probably no), advise you on whether you can afford that home youre looking to buy and help you navigate the industrys leaner times.
