About Me

Clive Calder became a billionaire in 2002, when he sold his music company Zomba Group to German mass media corporation Bertlesmann for $2.7 billion. The crown jewel of his empire was Jive Records, the record label behind many of the first commercially successful hip hop artists. The South Africa native founded Zomba in London in 1975, then opened an office in New York City in 1978. Known for shunning the spotlight, Calder now lives in the Cayman Islands with his wife. He frequently travels to parts of Africa for charity, and his ELMA Philanthropies works on improving childhood education and health on the continent.
