Rich, powerful, and married to one of the hottest Latinas on the planet…Yeah, Tommy Mottola’s got a pretty good life. And with over four decades in the music business, you can be he’s got some juicy details to spill. That’s why we were very excited to hear that Thalia’s hubby is planning to publish a tell-all memoir!
Born in the Bronx to a working-class family, Mottola is truly an American success story. A college dropout, he went on to oversee acts like Jennifer Lopez, and Destiny’s Child, and by the ‘90s ran all of Sony Music. Along the way he amassed a fortune well over $100 million dollars!
We imagine his insider stories could fill up hundreds of pages, and that’s even before getting into the Thalia wedding. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Mottola’s book editor, Ben Greenberg, said,
“There will be a lot of new stories. Something about it that was interesting to me…was the way he entered the business, dropping out of college and all that. I didn’t really want it to be an inside baseball type thing where it’s only interesting to people who are really into the music industry itself, or who work in the music industry, so for it to have more of a commercial appeal, I think it’s important that he tell stories that everyone can relate to.”
Of course, Mottola’s career wasn’t entirely rosy. There were those incidents of Michael Jackson branding him a racist and a famous fallout with ex-wife Mariah Carey. Will all of that be addressed? We don’t fully know, but it will be very interesting to see how he spins each story.
Tommy Mottola’s book, “The Last Starmaker” is set to hit shelves in 2012.
