Universal Music Group is one of the “big three” record companies, along with Sony Music and Warner Music Group, and is known for producing some of the most popular and successful artists of all time.

WeWork

WeWork seemed to be on track to revolutionize the shared workspace niche, up until its failed IPO drew focus to many internal issues. However, in 2016 Chinese company Legend Holdings Corp invested $430 million in order to revitalize the company, which currently manages 4 million square meters of co-working office spaces.
