Michael Striar Biography

Michael Striar is one of the most popular and richest American entrepreneur who was born on January 4, 1958 in United States. After being introduced to Muhammad Ali by a mutual friend, Striar started his entertainment career in late 1970s as a promoter of boxing. Striar, then 21, was the youngest promoter ever to work with Ali. He assembled a group that invested in Ali’s future and lured him out of retirement. Jimmy Ellis was Ali’s opponent at the Civic Center in Providence on March 12, 1979. Although the match was originally billed as Ali’s last ring appearance, it turned out to be a tune up for Ali’s fourth championship bid. Striar also featured Marvelous Marvin Hagler, a local boxer, on the undercard. This gave the future champion at middleweight a great opportunity.

Striar offered a significant advance to concert performers in 1984 for the financial assistance of band members who were cash-strapped. After weeks of rehearsals in Glen Ellen, the band made their reunion official by performing two Striar-produced shows at the Capitol Theatre, Concord, New Hampshire. Striar promoted the band in arenas throughout their Back in the Saddle Tour and produced their iconic stadium show at Boston’s Manning Bowl on September 14, 1986.

Striar eventually sold the concert company and moved to Los Angeles, where he ran Jetrink Management, a company he had founded in 1987. Striar was personal manager of Los Angeles-based rock band The Broken Homes. The band toured extensively with Joan Jett, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jefferson Starship. Striar was Executive Producer for two of the band’s MCA albums: Straight Line Through Time and Wing and a Prayer. Under his management, The Broken Homes were prominently featured in TV shows and films, including Miami Vice, Weird Science, and Another 48 Hrs.. The band also appeared onscreen in the film Thelma & Louise, and recorded the title track for Oliver Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July.

Since 1998, Striar has been a principal in Striar Development, a Boston-based, commercial real estate investment company. In 2005, Striar ran for Mayor of his hometown, Newton, Massachusetts, losing to the incumbent. In 2010, Striar and his partners sold a large tract of undeveloped land in Middleboro, Massachusetts to the Mashpee Wampanoag for a resort casino proposed by the tribe. In 2014, Striar formed Striar Entertainment, a television production company based in the Boston area.

Striar promoted a show at the Glen Ellen Country Club, Millis, Massachusetts, with Joe Perry, disaffected Aerosmith guitarist. They became close friends and formed a business partnership with Perry’s new band, The Joe Perry Project. Striar provided much-needed financing for the band and helped to arrange a change in labels. He was also Executive Producer of Perry’s 1983 MCA album Once a Rocker.
