Ari Emanuel’s memoir sells for just over $2 million

Pagesix reports WME superagent Ari Emanuel has sold his memoir for just over $2 million.

Hollywood book insiders say the deal is a strong sum for a book being cowritten with J.R. Moehringer, who has worked with Prince Harry and on acclaimed books for Phil Knight and Andre Agassi; the outlet notes Moehringer is said not to take jobs for less than $1 million. One insider described the deal as worth up to $2.5 million.

Insiders say Emanuel — the inspiration for the “Entourage” character Ari Gold — should have plenty of material, from growing up with siblings Zeke and Rahm Emanuel to founding Endeavor and representing clients from Donald Trump to Larry David. The content of the book is being kept under wraps; Emanuel also cohosts the video podcast “Rushmore.”
