https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Ford_(CEO)
who is the former ceo of ford models. she is the daughter of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_W._Ford this excerpt from his page is notable
Prior to Ford's innovations, models generally handled their own bookings and billing individually.[2] In the 1970s, Ford created the first contracts for models to represent specific brands exclusively, securing higher fees for the models. He negotiated the first such contract for Lauren Hutton to represent Revlon in 1974.[1]
this goes even deeper as balazs dated chelsea handler and uma thurman further weirdness is this from wiki pedia "The building that now houses The Standard, Hollywood, was originally built in 1962 as the Thunderbird Motel, and had become a retirement home when Balazs purchased and remodeled it. Original investors in the Hollywood hotel were Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Benicio del Toro, D'arcy Wretzky and James Iha." seems like this crap goes very deep
