George Clooney sold his tequila for $1 billion
George Clooney sold his own brand of tequila Casamigos Diageo, owner of Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff and Ciroroc for $1 billion.
"If you had asked us 4 years ago, whether we will have a company with billions in revenue, I don't think we would say" Yes, " said Clooney in a statement. The star of "Ocean Eleven" (and this month, the father of the twins) launched with two partners in 2013.
The British company Diageo (DEO), said in a statement that Clooney and friends will continue to participate in the promotion of the brand, but also to engage in "leadership and vision". George Clooney comes to the rescue a record amount for its brand of premium tequila.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Diageo to strengthen its participation in the rapidly growing category of tequila, as well as expand the brand to an international level," the company said.
Recently George and his wife Amal were born twins Ella and Alexander. Happy parents spend a lot of time with the kids and even refused the services of a nanny.
