Monty Sarhan

Monty Sarhan is the Publisher and CEO of Cracked Entertainment, the parent company of Cracked Magazine.

Prior to joining Cracked, Sarhan practiced corporate law at top-tier firms in both Boston and New York, including the international law firm White & Case. A member of the American and New York Bar Associations, Sarhan has represented clients in diverse transactions including private equity and venture capital financings, mergers and acquisitions, and numerous other transactions involving significant intellectual property assets, such as the sale of a well-known US publishing business with considerable copyright assets to a major European publisher and the negotiation of a foreign joint venture for a popular online portal.

A graduate of Tufts University and the Duke University School of Law, Sarhan is also a successful entrepreneur who has raised over $70 million for various projects and companies throughout the world, including bids for telecommunications licenses, reconstruction projects in the new Iraq and the attempted buyout of a well-known Hollywood production company.

While still a student in law school, Sarhan supposedly met and became friends with Hollywood producer Thom Mount, who he has credited as being his mentor. Sarhan remains active in fundraising and other activities for his alma mater. In 1999, he received Duke University's Charles A. Dukes Award for Alumni Service, becoming the youngest person in the university's history to receive the award.
