CAA Sells Majority Stake to Pinault's Artemis in $7 Billion Deal Despite Talent Strikes

CAA sold a majority stake to Francois-Henri Pinault's Artemis, valuing CAA at $7 billion despite current talent strikes.

The deal proves the success of CAA's leaders Lourd, Huvane, and Lovett since taking over in 1995.

Lourd was made CEO, essential for Pinault's management structure. He's emerged as an industry statesman.

Questions remain about how CAA agents will balance major company growth with client needs.

Spotlight grows on client Salma Hayek, Pinault's wife, as a power player given the business ties.
