ISLAMABAD/LONDON: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly hired top Hollywood’s most sought-after dealmaker to rake in millions in the new year, Page Six confirmed on Friday.

Eyewitnesses reported that Prince Harry and Meghan were seen striking up a conversation with Lilling, and Prince Harry was even spotted introducing him to another guest at the party.
As per industry experts, Lilling works at an “intersection of celebrity and venture investing” and has “worked with Ellen forever, and Matthew McConaughey and the bunch of A-listers.”
The insider added: “It’s possible that Ellen introduced him to Meghan and Harry.”
As part of The Hollywood Reporter’s Top deal-makers of 2022 story, Lilling said, “Our mission is to take people who can affect change in the globe and marry them with the top operators and entrepreneurs.”
He said that “we are not really focused on their entertainment endeavours. We are focused on connecting their profit, their passion, and purpose with profit opportunities in the private equity landscape,”.
According to THR, Lilling’s company Plus Capital is responsible for setting up more than 250 successful deals for Hollywood bigwigs, including Pachama with Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres, Salesforce with Matthew McConaughey, and Vegamour with Nicole Kidman.
This comes weeks after confirmation that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed a 20 million dollar three-book deal with Penguin Random House following the success of Harry’s memoir Spare.
