Canadian entrepreneur Mandle Cheung, CEO of Computer Talk Technology, paid $400,000 (over ₹3.44 crore) to lead 102-year-old Toronto Symphony Orchestra as a conductor. "I've seen magic of guy standing in front of orchestra...So I said, 'Why can't I do it?'...I can afford to...that's the main thing," Cheung said. Multiple musicians objected to turning over the role of conductor to amateurs.
