Horn grew up in Riverhead on Long Island, New York. He attended Union College in Schenectady, New York, graduating in 1964, then earned his MBA from Harvard Business School in Boston.
Horn has been a notable figure in the world of entertainment business since the ’70s, serving as President and COO of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, as well as Chairman and CEO of Embassy Communications. He also worked at Norman Lear’s television production company, Tandem Productions. Such positions have enabled him to establish a great reputation in the film and television industry, and to earn a considerable net worth.
Horn eventually became disappointed at Fox, which led him to join Martin Shafer, Rob Reiner, Andrew Scheinman and Glenn Padnick to found a new production company, in 1987 launching Castle Rock Entertainment, of which he became the company’s Chairman and CEO. During his tenure, Castle Rock released many hit projects, such as the films “A Few Good Men”, “Little Big League”, “The Shawshank Redemption”, “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Green Mile”, as well as the most successful TV show ever, “Seinfeld”. Its success reinforced Horn’s reputation and considerably increased his wealth. The company was sold to Turner Broadcasting System in 1993, and eventually became a division of Warner Bros.
In 1999 Horn became President and COO of Warner Bros, running the company’s home entertainment and theatrical sectors, such as the Warner Bros. Pictures Group, Warner Premiere, Warner Bros. Theatrical Ventures and Warner Home Video. During his tenure at the studio, it was one of the most successful production companies, being a seven-time global box office leader. With Horn as its leader, it released a number of acclaimed projects, both on big and small screens. These included the popular “Harry Potter” franchise, “The Dark Knight” trilogy, the “Ocean’s Eleven” trilogy, the second and third “Matrix” movies, “Batman Begins”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “Sherlock Holmes”, “Million Dollar Baby” and “The Departed”, to name just a few. Releasing some of the world’s most successful entertainment box office hits brought the studio an enormous amount of money, which greatly improved Horn’s fortune too. His 12-year career at Warner Bros cemented his status of one of the most powerful figures in the entertainment industry.
In 2012 he joined The Walt Disney Studios, becoming the company’s Chairman. As such, he has been involved in the studio’s production, distribution and marketing of various projects from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm and DreamWorks Studios, while also running its music and theatrical groups. During his tenure, the company has released a number of top-grossing films, such as “Marvel’s The Avengers”, “Frozen”, “Iron Man 3”, “Maleficent”, “Inside Out”, “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Zootopia”, among others. Being part of such a major studio leader has brought Horn impressive success and large income too. In 2015 Disney earned almost half of all profits in the film business, significantly adding to Horn’s net worth.
When it comes to his personal life, Horn is married to former model and actress Cindy Harrell, with whom he has two daughters, actresses Cody Horn and Cassidy Horn. The family resides in Los Angeles, California.

Jeff attended Lehigh University, and would graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering. After his studies, he started working at the Ford Motor Company, and after gaining a lot of experience, he began establishing his own automotive businesses, which included Quantum Fuel Systems Technology; the company focuses on fuel storage, fuel efficiency, and natural forms of fuel. Beitzel eventually rose up to become the COO of the company in 2005. Other groups he worked for include Tecstar Automotive Group (formerly Starcraft Corp.) and Powertrain Integration. He served as the Co-Chief Executive Officer of Tecstar and was the president of Tecstar subsidiaries, as well as the President of Powertrain Integration. Quantum Fuel Systems eventually merged with Tecstar, but Powertrain Integration on the other hand focuses on powertrain solutions including highway systems, alternative fuels, and other services. Thanks to all of these endeavors, his net worth continued to increase.
Jeff eventually became engaged to reality television star and businesswoman Gretchen Rossi. Since then, he started appearing in the hit reality TV show “The Real Housewives of Orange County”, which helped somewhat in increasing his net worth further. The show started in 2006 airing on Bravo TV, its premise being to show the professional and personal lives of several women residing in Orange County. Rossi started appearing in the show during the fourth season, and Jeff started getting featured on the show when they became engaged. The show also featured his battle with leukemia.
For his personal life, it is known that Jeff was married five times before becoming engaged to Rossi; he passed away in 2008 from leukemia. After his death, his ex-wife and three children started challenging Rossi in the press, claiming the Beitzel never really intended to marry her. The issue was also brought out because it was reported that Jeff left Gretchen several million dollars in his estate. Despite this, Rossi has shrugged off most of the statements against her and even dedicated a social media post to Jeff during the anniversary of his death. She’s also reported to have spent time with his kids, even amidst rumors of infidelity during their relationship. One of Jeff’s children has commented that all the publicity didn’t really matter, because in the end his father loved Rossi.

Gautam Adani Net Worth
Gautam Shantilal Adani was born on the 24th June 1962, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India and is a businessman, widely known as a founder and the chairman of the multinational conglomerate Adani Group. Adani has been active in the business of coal mining and gas distribution since 1988.
How much is the net worth of Gautam Adani? It has been estimated by authoritative sources that the overall size of his wealth is as much as $8.8 billion, as of the data presented in the middle of 2017. Adani Group is the main source of Adani’s fortune.
Gautam Adani Net Worth $8.8 Billion
To begin with, the boy with his seven siblings, was raised in Ahmedabad by his parents Shanta and Shantilal Adani. He was educated at the Sheth Chimanlal Nagindas Vidyalaya school, then entered Gujarat University to study commerce, yet he dropped out.
Currently, the billionaire Gautam Adani owns the largest brand of oil in India. The company was founded in 1988, with Gautam the founder and current president. He said he created his Group with a vision of Nation Building, that is to say by developing assets that he believes are important economic issues for the country. The Adani Group has grown rapidly by diversifying into import – export – it opened its own port in Mundra, to better control its trading operations. Construction began in 1995 and in 1998 it became one of the major sources of foreign exchange for India.
The following year, the company embarked on financial and energy speculation with coal trading, and soon created a joint venture (Adani Willmar) in the field of petroleum products trading in 2000. A second phase began for the group with the creation of large infrastructures. The company created a portfolio of ports, power stations, mines and a fleet of ships and railway lines in and out of India. In 2006, the company became the largest importer of coal in India – 11 million tons. Adani sought to be less dependent on the coal market, so he started to buy and control coal mines. Thus, he bought the Australian group Linc Energy, in order to supply the group’s coal-fired power stations. In 2008, he bought the Bunyu mine in Indonesia , with 180 million tons of coal reserves, and the following year, Adani Group became an energy company, producing 330 MW of thermal energy. In 2011, the group also decided to buy the exploitation rights of a large part of the Galilee coal basin in Australia. To prepare for the import of Australian coal, he ordered a large-capacity coal terminal at Mundra (the largest in the world) and in the same year he bought the Australian port of Abbot Point. This project is yet to come to fruition.
In 2012, the Group began a 3rd phase of development as integration infrastructure, renewing its logo and developing a new identity. The company focuses on three areas: resources, logistics and energy. Subsequently, under the direction of Gautam Adani, the Adani Group became a multinational conglomerate active in the production of electricity – especially through coal – and port terminals, logistics and agribusiness. It is India’s largest developer and port operator. The Group is the major source of Gautam Adani’s net worth.
Finally, in the personal life of Gautam, he is married to Priti and they have two children.
