Jacob Bloom - Variety500 - Top 500 Entertainment Business Leaders

The veteran showbiz legal eagle had a stable of high-profile clients that included director Brad Bird (“Incredibles 2”) and Rob Cohen (“The Hurricane Heist”), producers Jerry Bruckheimer (“Top Gun: Maverick”), Lorenzo di Bonaventura (“The Meg”) and Charles Roven (“Wonder Woman”), and actors Nicolas Cage, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Statham. Bloom made headlines in January when he put his art-filled, 15,000-square-foot, Idaho mansion up for auction with a reserve price of $11 million (down from an $18 million asking price in 2017), but the big news has been his ongoing legal tussles with former client Johnny Depp over the $50 million malpractice suit filed by the actor. He announced his retirement from his firm in May 2019.
