Mr. Redstone’s death was announced on Wednesday by his family’s holding company, National Amusements Inc. He was 97.
Rising from humble beginnings, Mr. Redstone achieved fame in the entertainment industry late in life, assembling a sprawling set of assets through a mix of savvy investing, creative litigation and all-around ruthlessness. He was among a now-shrinking group of moguls like John Malone and Rupert Murdoch who have shaped the media landscape through gutsy mergers.
The company he controlled, ViacomCBS , delivered an array of programming into American living rooms and onto the big screen, from CBS prime-time shows like “The Big Bang Theory” and irreverent cable programs on MTV and Comedy Central to film hits from the Paramount Pictures studio such as “Titanic” and “Top Gun.”
The mercurial Mr. Redstone was famously hot tempered in both his business and family dealings. Known to his own grandchildren as “Grumpy,” over the years he sparred with and dismissed several top executives, feuded with nearly all of his closest family members and was so hard on wait staff that he was barred from some restaurants.
Rest in music Sumner
An American legend and incredible entrepreneurial genius that will be greatly missed!
Just took my shoes off and they had a rather new smelly smell. Wtf. Oh this comment? Yeah it’s me not giving a shit about another dead billionaire.
Warm.Prayers.Sent.😇💗
Did he mention me in his will?
RIP, Sumner Redstone.
Cotton was king once... And who was forced to pick it?
Some of these comments are disgusting. How can you be happy that he has died? He earned his money. No surprise the abuse is coming from the lefties. Did you know this guy was a huge donor to the democrats for years and years ? I’m guessing not you absolute clowns 🤡🥴
Welcome home, Sumner.
met him once on the 18th tee at Pebble Beach. He had a house right near the tee. His dog got out and he was frantically trying to retrieve the dog. I got the dog back under control and back into his hands. I recall he never said thank you. Found that strange. Nice house though.
No one “earns” a billion dollars. There is no job on this planet that *requires* a billion dollars in “compensation”. The only way individuals get that kind of money is by taking a huge skim from the river of cash that flows through corporations. GoBackTo1950sTaxRates
it'd be a shame if some of his wealth got... redistributed to people and programs in need
Good.
Yup - content is king. In his honor, when my clock strikes 3 & 12, I’ll give my hammer 10 mighty swings untils the bells rings.
So he must've owned ALL of the media then, since not even the WSJ is reporting about his proud perverted ways that even his family members spoke about in court & that he proudly didnt mind b/c he was old! smh
Do Americans care about dead billionaires? I mean they are the problem. They have so much money and just want more to the detriment to everyone else
see ya bitch.
Real name was Sumner Murray Rothstein, he like others change their name to blend in with the “white people” to hide their crimes in “White Privilege”
The GOP loss a Big Donor today.

Oh Well
R.I.P., Let's hope this is the beginning of a trend.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
The environment when it heard there was one less billionaire
Good, we need more billionaires to die.
Maybe it is his personality that hot young women fall in love with.

Money 💰 does not prevent death. A lot of rich people do not understand that.
