Laurene Powell Jobs invests in studio behind ‘Mr. Robot’ and ‘Spotlight’

Mr. Robot (USA Network)

Philanthropist and Silicon Valley investor Laurene Powell Jobs is entering into Hollywood with an investment into Anonymous Content, the studio behind movies such as Spotlight and TV shows like Mr. Robot. The widow of Steve Jobs is investing via her Emerson Collective fund. The two sides won’t disclose the size of the deal but it is said to be a “substantial minority investment.” Powell Jobs said in a press release that she’s interested in “expanding the firm’s efforts in producing socially relevant content aimed at inspiring change.” She is considered one of the wealthiest women in the world with her net worth pegged by Forbes at US$17.6 billion, which is derived from large stakes in Apple and Disney.
