In November 2014 Scooter and Yael spent $13.1 million to acquire a mansion in Brentwood, California. Yael’s parents David and Diane have owned a $12.5 million house across the street since 2018. In January 2020, Scooter and Yael bought the house next door in an off-market transaction for $18 million. The sellers were John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston who paid $3.5 million for the home in 1993. In 2014 Scooter put his former Sunset Strip home on the market for $4.6 million. In 2014 he listed a second Los Angeles home for $11.6 million. He bought this house in 2011 for $5.7 million. They also own a home in Montecito, California.

After the investment Braun is still reportedly the majority owner. Ithaca owns ventures across multiple industries including television, film and technology. Taylor Swift Catalog: On June 30, 2019 it was revealed that Scooter reached a deal to acquire Big Machine Records for a reported $300 – $350 million with backing from Carlyle. Big Machine was founded in 2005 by Scott Borchetta. Borchetta discovered and signed a 15 year old singer named Taylor Swift after seeing her perform at Nashville cafe. With the acquisition, Scooter became the owner of Taylor’s first six albums as well as a roster of artists including Sheryl Crow, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line and Lady Antebellum. The announcement of Braun’s acquisition swiftly led to a public lash-out from Swift who was incensed that she was not able to buy the albums herself AND that they went to someone she personally despised. Swift announced her intention to re-record the masters which would allow her to significantly reduce the value of the original masters. On November 17, 2020 it was announced that Scooter had sold Taylor Swift’s catalog to an investment firm called Shamrock Capital which was founded by Roy E. Disney, one of Walt Disney’s nephews. The sale was reportedly for a higher amount that Braun paid a year and a half prior. Swift was reportedly offered a chance to become an equity owner in her catalog with Shamrock, but turned down the offer after learning that the terms of the sale would allow Scooter to continue earning royalties off her music for years to come. Swift also claimed she was offered the chance to buy her catalog from Braun but was asked to sign an contract that would forbid her from making negative comments about the music manager forever. In her rejection of the partnership offer, Taylor reportedly informed Shamrock that she still intended to proceed with her plan to re-record her masters.
