The following year, Bell launched Marc Bell Capital firm, which operates in entertainment, publishing, internet as well as real estate investments; Marc himself holds the position of the managing partner. In 2004, he and his partner became the owners of Penthouse magazine, which they acquired in the auction after a bankruptcy.
