Scamp CD Simon Veksner: Who is this man and why does he have $540 million?

Screen+Shot+2012-10-07+at+1.28.jpgAnswer: his name is Luke Taylor, and he just sold a digital agency network called LBi to Publicis.

All right, admittedly he didn't get the whole $540 million himself, but I imagine he got a fair chunk (the agency was owned partly by its management team of which Luke Taylor is the CEO, and partly by private equity investors).
