Forbes Magazine Names Big Machine Label Group 'Country's Hottest Label'

Scott Borchetta

BIG MACHINE LABEL GROUP is the subject of a new "FORBES" magazine article that dubs the company, "Country’s Hottest Label." The piece says, "BIG MACHINE is big business. It’s a private company, which means that its financials aren’t open to the public. But FORBES estimates that the label pulls in revenues in the high eight-figures, a sum BORCHETTA didn’t deny. With margins in excess of 20% -- far higher in certain years -- he says the company’s value could easily be nine figures. $200 million, anybody? 'There are people who would buy it for that' says BORCHETTA. 'But it’s not for sale'."
