$DJT: The Modern-Day Bowie Bond in 1997, david bowie and david pullman changed the game when they issued the bowie bond bowie bonds were backed by the royalties of bowie's 20+ albums recorded before 1990 the sale raised $55M, and paid an interest rate of 7.5-7.9% (higher than a 10-year treasury note at the time) the bonds liquidated 2007, and bowie retained the rights to his catalog chamath's take: $DJT is a more sophisticated, modern version of the bowie bond, where insanely famous people (think kim kardashian, mr beast, trump) can take companies public based on the goodwill of their name, brand, and likeness plus a product tied to that value. so buying the stock becomes a directional bet on the value of that person's brand. #fyp #tiktok #davidbowie #musicbusiness #music #allinpodcast #investing #finance #business #bowiebonds #startups #tech #technology #venturecapital
