Functionality Mistakes Throughout History That Were Way Too Expensive to Fix

Before becoming legends with EMI’s Parlaphone, The Beatles were almost signed by Decca Records. Reputed music executive Dick Rowe turned them down, skeptical about guitar groups’ future, unaware of the stardom they’d achieve.

Rowe’s decision not to sign The Beatles led to a monumental missed opportunity. The band soared to financial greatness, with their catalog now valued at $1 billion. Paul McCartney alone boasts a net worth of $924 million, highlighting the costly oversight.
