WME superagent Ari Emanuel sold his memoir for just over $2 million, sources tell Page Six.
Hollywood.Book insiders say that’s a pretty good haul for the tome that’s being cowritten with Prince Harry’s ghostwriter, J.R. Moehringer. Moehringer has previously also worked on acclaimed books by hard-charging hippie Nike creator Phil Knight and fiery, famously mullet-ed tennis star Andre Agassi, and apparently doesn’t take jobs for less that $1 million himself these days.
One insider said the deal was worth up to $2.5 million. Emanuel, the inspiration for over-the-top “Entourage” character Ari Gold, should have plenty of material — from growing up with successful siblings Zeke and Rahm Emanuel to his exploits as the founder of Endeavor and repping clients from Donald Trump to Larry David. But the content of the book is so far being kept under wraps.
The WME and TKO Group mogul also co-hosts the video podcast, “Rushmore.”
