Currently, “Interscope Records” is considered to be the number-one charting record label with such artists as Eminem, Fergie, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Gwen Stefani and other famous artists under their roof. In 2013, HTC bought a half of the ownership rights from Iovine for $300 million, which significantly contributed to Iovine’s total wealth.

The popularity of the company relies heavily on its various marketing techniques, such as branding deals with celebrities and product placement, both of which have proven to be very successful. In 2014, Iovine sold “Beats Electronics” for $3 billion to the “Apple” company, which in turn helped him earn $650 million from the deal.
