Jimmy Iovine once reportedly blew it in a meeting with Mark Zuckerberg and missed out on investing in Facebook

That's according to the new bookby Zack O'Malley Greenburg, which explores how celebrities became major investors in tech startups.

"Jimmy is forty-five minutes late to this meeting," Wallach told Greenburg. "And he says, 'Oh, I'm sorry I'm late, our jet got in ... and then we swung by Apple to see Steve [Jobs].'" After about five minutes, Zuckerberg told Iovine that he had a "hard stop" at 3:30 and that he wasn't sure "what we could actually do together." Zuckerberg then thanked him and left, and Iovine never invested in Facebook.

I think he’ll be okay

If I had missed getting into business with a soulless person like Zuckerberg, I would be most pleased with the fates.

I hope he’s able to recover. Thoughts and prayers to Jimmy. 🙄
