When it comes to the entertainment industry, there is no doubt about the big league financiers and executives. However, not all executives can reach that place of success in a very cutthroat and almost volatile industry of entertainment.

Ryan Kavanaugh on the other hand found the formula to succeed in this volatile industry and created a place for him. He is a producer of films, financier, and founder of the film production company relativity media. He is stated as one of the youngest billionaires and is also ranked 22 on the list of fortune 40 in 2012.

Where did he start?

Born in California to a dentist father and real estate broker, he always had his eye on big business methods. He went to UCLA and after that only started his own venture capital business. Though he had to wrap the business up after 9/11, he never looked back and became one of the youngest billionaires.

Initiating relativity media

Before he founded relativity media, he was keen on all types of finance and investment techniques. He worked with several small and big venture capitalists. He then started his own company in the late 1990s. However, what he learned from other companies was that simply using financial models and relying on luck for a movie to get success is not going to help earn profit.

This is when he started using “the model” that was later called Monte Carlo for the company. This model helped the company to give out some major hits and also collaborate with several big companies. In this, the statistics and analytical methods are used in detail to predict the future of a movie. The use of mathematical models and statistical tools was way different than the usual traditional methods of predicting and producing movies in Hollywood.

Success as producer

Within a year or so after founding relativity media, Ryan Kavanaugh was working and creating finance deals and investment projects with marvel, Warner bros., Sony pictures, overture films, universal paramount, etc. He also initiated several; production, marketing, financial deals, and partnerships with several other entertainment companies in both the united states of America and China.

Later, relativity media spread its wings and covered other markets in the entertainment industry like digital media, television, and sports management.

His different approach to producing movies has garnered him several wins as the movies were a big success. He is coveted with several wards like a producer of year, billion-dollar producer, the showman of year, etc. Other than this he is also known for his philanthropic projects. He is also honored with the humanitarian award in Hollywood.
