President of TVT Records. General asshole and "show me the money"-brand music industry shirt according to Trent Reznor, Chris Randall and others. Has pissed off and ultimately lost many cool bands including Sister Machine Gun, Nine Inch Nails, and KMFDM.

The line "Eat your heart out, Steve" at the beginning of the Nine Inch Nails cover of Adam Ant's Physical is refering to Mr. Gottleib.

He can be seen in a new tv commercial for CSFB.
