Personal life of George Clooney is no less interesting and eventful than his filmography. The Hollywood handsome man (Clooney is 180 cm tall and weighs 89 kg) has broken many women's hearts. The artist's companions have always been as bright as his films.

In 1987, the actor had an affair with Kelly Preston. In memory of the relationship, George was left with a mini-pig named Max, who lived in the star's house for 18 years. Clooney doted on his pet and sometimes took a 126-kilogram hog to his bed.

On June 6, 2017, George Clooney became a father for the first time. The actor's wife Amal gave her husband two heirs at once, a boy and a girl. The kids were named Alexander and Emma.

At the end of June, journalists learned about a lucrative deal made by Clooney. The actor sold his own brand of American premium tequila Casamigos. British premium spirits manufacturer Diageo has offered $ 1 billion for it.

The name of the alcoholic brand Clooney is translated as "House of Friends". Initially, making the drink was a friendly hobby with no profit motive. George Clooney and two of the actor's friends - Rand Gerber, husband of Cindy Crawford, and developer Mike Meldman - set up this project to make tequila for their own consumption when they built villas in a Mexican state called Baja California.

Friends did not plan to commercialize the brand and started giving bottles of the drink to acquaintances, then they started asking to buy more. The turnover was growing. The founders of the company received a license for the production and sale of alcohol. In an interview, the partners stated that this was a necessary measure, and not a deliberate step on the way to the alcohol business. The tequila distillation firm refused to make new shipments without a license because the company could no longer ship thousands of bottles and call it making "probes."

The business began to develop, the friendly company showed growth, in 2016 the Casamigos brand sold 120 thousand bottles. The buyers were mostly wealthy Americans. A year later, this figure increased by 50 thousand units.

Now Clooney is in no hurry to replenish his filmography, but his name does not go down in the front pages of the tabloids. And all thanks to the fact that, in addition to a successful acting career, after the sale of his own company, George is now called a talented businessman.

Initially, for the sale of his own brand, George Clooney with friends received $ 700 million immediately after the closing of the deal. Another 300 will be paid over ten years. Clooney, Jerber and Meldman remain on the board of directors of Casamigos, in addition, Diageo plans to further use the actor's popularity in the tequila ad campaign. The successful deal pushed Clooney into the Forbes list of richest celebrities. Having increased his fortune by $ 239 million in a year, George took the first position in this ranking.

The only cinematic project that George Clooney is currently passionate about as a producer and director is the Catch-22 series. The premiere of the military comedy is scheduled for 2019.

In addition to business and filming a television movie, Clooney decided to master another specialty - event manager. Moreover, the Halloween holiday, which the actor is preparing together with his friend Rand Jerber, he will arrange only for his closest circle and colleagues.

George plans to organize a private party for Hollywood stars, where he will invite Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Sylvester Stallone, Courtney Love, Kim Kardashian, John Hamm. And then the friends will move to the Las Vegas Catch club.
