Sumner Redstone, a towering figure in media who built his father’s drive-in theater business into an empire that included Viacom, Paramount Pictures and CBS Corp., only to see his legacy tarnished …

and CBS Corp., only to see his legacy tarnished in his final years by corporate battles and sordid allegations by former girlfriends, died Aug. 11 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 97.ViacomCBS

“Sumner was a man of unrivaled passion and perseverance, who devoted his life to his belief in the power of content,” National Amusements said. “With his passing, the media industry he loved so dearly loses one of its great champions. Sumner, a loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather, will be greatly missed by his family who take comfort knowing that his legacy will live on for generations to come.

In 2016, a drawn-out legal battle for control of Viacom pitted his daughter, Shari Redstone, against his one-time protege, Philippe Dauman, with former girlfriends Manuela Herzer and Sydney Holland in key supporting roles. In keeping with her father’s tenacious example, Shari Redstone prevailed in what at times became down-and-dirty brawls with her father’s former mistresses, Dauman and former CBS chief Leslie Moonves.

Redstone was a prominent exhibitor who had been a pioneer of the multiplex concept for movie theaters in the 1960s. He bought and sold at a profit stakes in 20th Century Fox, MGM/United Artists and Columbia Pictures before he set his sights on building his own studio empire. Redstone’s final years were marked by tabloid eruptions about various mistresses and family members, who fell in and out of favor at Redstone’s expansive home in the gated Beverly Park enclave in the hills above Los Angeles. Long-time companion Herzer and some-time girlfriend Holland reportedly received $150 million in cash and assets over a five-year period. Redstone spurned both in 2015 and his lawyers vowed the following year to go to court to attempt to recover the gifts.

The depth of Redstone’s ambition and drive may be explained by an earlier incident in which he cheated death. In 1979, he was caught in a hotel fire in Boston and was burned on more than 45% of his body as he hung from a window ledge. He wasn’t expected to live. But after 60 hours of intense surgeries, Redstone recovered. “I can say with certainty that my will to win, my tenacity, had a lot to do with my recovery,” he wrote in his 2001 memoir “A Passion to Win.

Born Sumner Rothstein , he was the son of an immigrant aspiring entrepreneur father who eventually came to own local nightclubs, including the Boston branch of the famous Latin Quarter. His father bought his first drive-in on Long Island in 1934. Redstone eventually moved to New York to work with Viacom chief Frank Biondi. He turned over the family’s theater business to his son-in-law, Ira Korff. After seemingly attempting to buy all of Orion Pictures, he got involved in a battle with Metromedia giant John Kluge. He lost this one but made a handsome profit from his sale of his stock to Kluge. He then claimed he was not interested in Orion, consuming himself with running his new media empire.

After the split, Moonves remained CEO of CBS while former MTV Networks chief Tom Freston became CEO of Viacom. A year later, Redstone shocked the industry when he abruptly fired Freston for what many believed was Redstone’s frustration over Viacom’s failure to win social networking site MySpace. In retrospect, it’s clear that Viacom dodged a bullet as News Corp. bought MySpace for $580 million in 2005 and sold it in 2011 for $35 million.

when I played hockey, if I ever lined up against a guy with the name 'Sumner Redstone', I'd punch him in the face just cause of the name.

If he is responsible for the content of the media of today, then GOOD RIDDANCE! He is probably burning in HELL where he deserves to be!

He’s probably been transferred to a new body at Lunar Operations Center - CoreyGoode OnEdgeOfWonder david_wilcock

As to be expected it seems like the institution of death. According to the DNC the news media it was ok for the remarks of (Wrong one died) of President TRUMP and brother. So gos the ( wroung billionaire died. Like communist soros or Bloomberg ) used in such a statement. TRUE

Let this serve as FORMAL PUBLIC NOTICE that WE intend on getting EVERY STOLEN ASSET of which WE were ROBBED of as children & B Yond(a). GODWINS & WE will NOT BE SILENT about the BLACK ROYALTY WORTHY of ALL THAT GOD HAS FOR US! ENOUGHISENOUGH EndGAME CheckMATE GODKNOWS ONE

He made a lot of money so he was a success? What about anything else that’s actually worthwhile? Love? Or just a tool for greed?

The entertainment industry is crap. You sure want to dump it on a deadman?

All the people who want to redistribute this man’s wealth are greedy in their own way. What make y’all think you are entitled to other people’s money? We are in a dangerous time. Eventually the people who want the money of the billionaires will get to anyone who has more.

He was mumbos best redstone creation a simple machine that runs on redstone

Rest in music my friend

Good riddance

Aww. He was such a pioneer and a real gentleman. 🌟💫❤️🌟💫❤️🌟💫❤️🌟💫❤️🌟💫❤️🌟💫❤️🌟

🙏🙏🙏

Everyone who’s saying they should donate his money clearly don’t understand that billionaires enherit money. It’s literally one of the only ways billionaires exist...

Should’ve been George Soros one can only hope

I know VIACOM

One down, too many more to go.

Rest In Peace.

Billionaire means somebody who has exploited thousands, if not millions of hard working Americans. Good riddance

No no no no kkk. K

i'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!!

Yeah, sad that a person died but it was his time. Now redistribute his billions

good

Operation/Project Paperclip Nazi brought here after WW2? Hmm. Doing some research. Tasked w/ destroying American Culture by BROAD(CASTING) shows.

Gimme the money

😇

One down, 2,094 to go. Off with their heads.

Give me the money old man

One Billionaire down, who's next?

Hmmm that’s weird

My Tribute Condolences to the family members

My condolences to the family

What he do to help humanity as a whole?

Good riddance.

Only real ones know who the real “content king” was ttd 👑

So how many sexual assault cases

All his money couldn’t save him...or help him avoid dementia.

Cryin' in my beer!

Who cares... open his purse he won’t see

Since he is a billionaire he just scheduled this date to dissapear and rejuvinate himself with his billions using adrenochrome and live forever. billionairesareimmortals

Good.

Rip

Rip/ may the lord be with him and his family/ you will be missed but never ever forgotten

Damn f in the chat ayo fbi he had me in his will

GOOOD RIDDANCE

Served in ww2 took a small family business outside of Boston into being one of the biggest media conglomerates So many comments Hating him for making money or being Jewish Might not have been a great guy but he certainly was one of the most important businessman of the decade

Did he get to take it with him?

- one less establishment Z- liberal and another one bites the dust!!!

Loser! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

No one cares, distribute his money

All that 💰 couldn't save his life. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Teacher says every time a billionaire dies an angel gets its wings

His name was Sumner Murray Rothstein he changed it to sound 'White'.

Was he Jewish?

S

Another Stern favorite dies? He shaped today's television experience, all the choices and all the lack of choices.

Poggers

I have zero fucks to give on this.

Can we eat him?

Hope there was a will in place to leave funds on behalf of the American people that are struggling to survive due to trumps recession depression death by Trump virus. Rip.”

Thank god, whos next?

Rest in piss

Really nice and WellWritten article. 👍

Rip

Man what I get from the comment section is people hate billionaire even though they never knew this person and all they think is about his money which show how greedy and jealous they are.

Did he leave any money to Donald Trump before he died

Dear Summer Redstone we thank you from all of us. Bless you and RIP.RWN/SOLO

I’m lost like am I supposed to be sad or sum shi

One of the members of the cabal died? How did that happen?!

good

What a waste of money

Prayers 🙏🙏🙏

Rest In Peace 🙏🏽❤️

Variety you missed the Mark. He and his cronies STOLE ideas, shows, concepts and had the money to go global. They only wanted white people videos and weren't too happy to have to play Michael Jackson. May he pay in death for all he took in life. racistdiesdonotcare

.

Prayers.Sent.😇💗

I came to see if the comments were just a bunch of people celebrating someones death and sure enough, I was right. I would absolutely love if you guys could start proving me wrong sometime soon, because its starting to get boring.

he looks like one of those lizard people. go to hell billionaire

Good.. The billionaires need to move on and give away money to the 99% slaves

A billionaire who didn’t do anything to help other nor was able to take his wealth with him after death.

Never heard of him.

His children shouldn’t inherit a dime. If the poor are expected to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” the children of billionaires should be too. 💯% death tax on multi-millionaires and billionaires. BillionairesShouldNotExist

Power has to been torn from the cold dead hands of old white men. In this case, literally. I hope CBS and Comedy Central will become more innovative and open with the passing of Mr. Redstone. And more fair.

Who gives a shit. He hoardes money. He could've given it to the poor.

Umm, who cares? A man that helped ruin America is dead. Later 👋

🙏🏼🙏🏼

Man: Dies Twitter: Good i don't like that he was successful

There's a fool who won't be missed!

No remorse here his company promotes fake news

Can George Soros be next?

A dead billionaire is a great way to start the day.

So young for a vampire.

A truly great loss, of a truly amazing businessman who probably had to fight so many ridiculous liberal idiots in Hollywood.

He wasn’t good for society.

Another Billionaire hoarder, who likely protected all his assets from inheritance taxes, has died. What a shame.

Another dead democrat ! Good Riddance !

Another one bites the dust

Aw, you mean his billions were worthless in the end? Go fig.

Nice

:(

Sumner was a good man! May he Rest In Peace!

Good.

I bet he was great at Minecraft engineering 😁

Can trump go too?

good riddance ,heard this bloke was the king of the creep pile.

Nothing of value was lost. Gentiles need control over the media.

Besides the monumental differences in IQ, education, & political leanings, how are these not all the same person? SignsItsOver

I mean he could not have been that great at the media if he passed away with that much money and overlooked everything I did on social media did not even consider any charity toward my cause to stop bullying rest in peace rich person I hope the money does great things

Cool, so um anyways, where does all his money go? Can we like sign something to inherit like a quick 10,000 or...?

Good

the brightest stars burn out the fastest 😢

Sumner proved that the key to a long life is a Steak and BJ everyday. Wise advice for any man.

Another far left animal just took a one way trip to hell. Could not take his wealth with him. This should be a wake up call to all lost souls including Soros who is one heartbeat behind him. There’s one supreme justice who’s also nipping at deaths door.

Finally

Good riddance to bad rubbish

He has been proven wrong. He famously declared that he would never die. We will all die, and we will all bow before YHWH. Every single one of us!

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

And to think, he accumulated ALL that wealth, but cannot take a dime of it where he is going. You work your ass off for all that money, then dies, leaving this earth with nothing 😙😌.

I am sure he will get a great welcoming party in hell.

GOD bless his soul...

I am glad that he went to hell.

Thought he was already dead

Oh no

yay

Nooo how will we make hidden doors in Minecraft now

Good riddance. He was an adrenochrome junkie.

May you rest in peace Mr Redstone. 🙏✨💖

the tax man cometh

THE JEWISH MEDIA BARRON WHO CHANGED HIS NAME TO hide the fact that all media is in the hands of jews.

It's crazy how everyone is mad in these comments just because they aren't billionaires. Work for it

He looks like one of those - never miss a day at the office... make billions but pack lunch from home and never take a vacation... You don’t need all that when you can literally make millions of people believe any story just by pressing your easy button 👌🏿

Not one Christian believes he walked through a EYE OF A NEEDLE not one Condolences to the family.

RIP 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

How many people just lost their leverage under him?

It’s all an act..

Goodbye pedophile... don't wanna be where you're at now.... 🤭😈

Nobody gives a fuck

Here come the crybaby bitches taking about hating billionaires.

nice

Sending prayers 💔

Good.

nobody cares... Robbed humanity nothing more. wont be missed by anybody, even his now rich family.

dope, now distribute his wealth.

I wonder if he was into adrenochrome...

Welp, it's time for the Redstone family to start squabbling and betraying one another to get a larger sum of his vast wealth. I'm not speak I'll of his kin, just saying the obvious.

The modern entertainment industry is nothing to be proud of.

Rest In Peace.

so television, movies, music, the reason they're all corporate shovel waste being fed to the masses from a trough, started here?

Billionaire can die After all we are all gonna die so why do people accumulate billions and make many enemies in the process Just why?

Lol, so long asshole

Good

who cares

If only Rupert Murdoch & son were so lucky...

Never heard of the guy in my life, but the fact he hoarded billions is enough to make me grateful he’s gone. The world is a better place without him.

for me irrelevant person, i do not watch USA trash films.

Good

God bless. I hope he left his money to build homes (not shelters) for homeless people.

I'm happy that there's another dead billionaire, but sad that his wealth won't be distributed to people who actually deserve it.

So he's to blame?

Good

More evil died today. What happened Sumner? Did your supply of andrenochrome end? Trump is putting an end to all of this! MAGA

Good

finally did something decent with his life. BillionairesShouldNotExist

who fucking cares

distribute his wealth somewhere lol

NICK CANNON WILDNOUT RN

RIP media giant

RIP

Here to vulture his rotting corpse...

He lived way too long.

Ok

Based

I stand by what I said earlier about how his money should go to helping homeless or to help fund education:)

I wonder if he was a redstone engineer.

Can't take it with you.

Gonna be HOT where he's goin'!!!

'All the money you made will never buy back your soul'

lmao am I suppose to be sad about this? 😂

You mean he didn’t manage to buy immortality with all that money from all the crushed bodies and broken souls he took advantage of to siphon off that wealth?

Adrenochrome shortage and wayfair being busted infringed his food supply...

ok

Say whatever you want to say that this guy, but he lived his life exactly the way he wanted to live it. Impressive across-the-board

1 down, 2094 to go

Reminder that the rot at CBS that resulted in a network of abusing predators like Les Moonves started at the very top. Sumner Redstone was the worst kind of sociopathic capitalist. And his daughter Shari is even more ruthless.

He is a Jew

anthonyjeselnik what are you going to do with all this newfound free time now that you won't have Sumner always bombarding you with phone calls?

OH NOOOOOOO WHO WILL HOARD HIS MONEY NOW? fuckem

And drove Viacom/CBS stock into a ditch. A real Mogul!!

But what are they gonna do with all of his money? Donate it to the public sector or charity.

Good. Who cares

My god

Should have lent me $2k

Lol and we should care about dead billionaires because....?

Aaaand the world cares... why? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rip

9520264

I hope he rests in peace..

Rest in peacr

I have noticed that a lot of people live long lives now. The intertainment industry needs an overhaul. Now he faces his maker as we all will. I will.

RIP sir

HowardStern

Sumner Redstone created the awful template, later followed at every media company, even Univision, of owners subverting their newsrooms into tools of their own neocon agenda. These moguls' religious biases drove conspiracies from Iraq WMD to Russia Hoax. Humans died.

Well that's one down.

R.I.P.

Rest In Peace

TIME TO REDISTRIBUTE HIS WEALTH!!

i didnt find out who this lich was until right now but i am glad he is dead. world is a better place.

Now MidnightsEdge will come up with a YouTube video explaining that with S .Redstone dead CBS will admit any day now that all their 'Star Trek' shows take place in an alternate timeline, so we don't have to take any of it seriously.

ok

Media mogul? Good riddance.

WeLp. SHOWS YOU CANT TAKE THAT SHIT W/ya. No matter wht they act like ,or how hard the try 💁‍♂️

So with him out of the picture, does that mean that Dan Schneider can finally get hit with the nastiest set of MeToo accusations ever?

So sad but where is his money going?

Good. Less work for us. 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

bye felicia

dancing crab emoji. another one down, many more to go

At 86, his wife filed divorced because he followed President Clinton with Monika model. Didn’t work for this poor guy.

Probably a pedo.

Evil Man. World's better off...

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kamala Harris died on the 9th. The Towering Media died today.

He couldn’t take it all with him.

I love hearing when a billionaire dies because you always hear stories of these fucks trying to fight against their inevitable deaths, it's the one thing they can't defeat the one thing they can't stop with their money and it will claim them all in the end.

🙏🏻RIP ,prayers to the family

He was a evil man. Owner of Viacom/B.E.T. POISONED THE MINDS OF MILLIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS

What a classic, got the world by the balls name, Sumner Redstone. Think there's anyone named Sumner who's living on the streets?

CBS = CONSTANT BULL SHIT 💩

Yeah, so about that estate tax.

Good riddance.

Thank god

Good riddance.

I was walking my dog in the park this morning around 8, and met someone walking her dog,and we started to chat. She told me she worked for Viacom, in the news dept. I asked jokingly, 'How's Sumner'? I guess we both know now.

Sumner Rothstein

He is survived by his wife LuLu Redstone, Age 23

okay

Look at his tight botox skin.

We’ll probably find out he raped like 50 people now. 🙄

Good. Few more billionaires left and the world will be a better place. Who’s next

All these progressives in the comments r disgusting. If u want to be a billionaire, work for it!

Awww, good!

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

Good

I wish they'd use younger pictures when old people die.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Peace with yeah! No better time to see God!

Good one less American enemy

The laws of nature do not care if your a blillionaire

He lived a long life, now distribute his wealth

Good

So what? He lived a long life! You gotta go when you gotta go!!!! Celebrate! Good for him!

Couldn't possibly be because he was 97 it has to be covid.

Let me guess., Covid?

What are we going to do without his tax dollars? Oh nevermind!

Isn’t the modern media filled with rapists and pedophiles?

byeeee

Does everyone on this thread know this guys a Jew but me? WTH. How do you know. Honestly I never heard of him until today. So not knowing these things about him how can a comment about donating his money to the poor be anti Semitic? Okay I know now.

He can't take his money with him so.....

World just got better with him passing we dont need one person taking up that much money

I knew he was up there, but I didn't realize he was 97. RIP.

when I played hockey, if I ever lined up against a guy with the name 'Sumner Redstone', I would have punched him in the face. Just the name implies arrogance and privilege.

I brought daily joy to Mr. Sumner Redstone by messaging him statements like “There Will Be Blood is overrated” and he would send always quickly send back “FUCK YOU” so yeah really interested in how the will plays out. SumnerRedstone wednesdaymorning

took him long enough...

RIP.

good riddance

Lol owned

Did he die or was he executed? Guess we have to wait on that one

Rest in peace Sumner Redstone. Sumner's family anglicized their last name from Rothstein to Redstone, which is the literal translation from Yiddish. Glad we live in a day when Jews don't feel the need to change their last name to feel accepted among non-Jews. Well, most of us.

About damn time.

Word is his best friend and chess partner Thurston Howell III is devastated.

I wonder if I'm in the will?

Too bad you couldn't take that money with you old man

Yeah, but CoddSumner lives on. And he’s the best Sumner. SumnerVsSumner (circa 2011)

A long lost relative of his, Longfellow Deeds, to inherit fortune

Hearing a lot of good and bad about this guy. Can’t tell if he was a nice or bad guy. Either way, death is death. R.I.P.

Bye.

Okay now he's dead can we talk about that thing on top of his head?

He was able to enjoy his money for a long time!

WHO. CARES.

Give his money to local law enforcement

Is he gonna have all his money and possessions buried with him like an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh?

Good, One less rich person on this planet.

help shaped the death of this country. fixed it for you

He gave up on the country

bet those mistresses bought shares of Viagra thru the years

RIP friend, you did good while you were here and you will be missed Everyday from this day Forward. Your in GOD'S arms Now and his Love surrounds you and all your pain is Forever gone! ❤🙏🙂🇺🇸

Billionaire fails to live forever. Story at 11.

Rejoice!!!!

I’d fuck him

S to spit on the Israeli Sumner Rothstein.

Goodbye greedy, good luck explaining your life in the afterlife! All that money and what a waste.

how old is his trophy wife... assuming he had one....?

Good age is good man

The world is better when there are less billionaires. He made that money off of the backs of other people.

He's in hell now. Not because he was a billionaire.

Another pedo

A pedophile died. Cool!

How many kids do you wanna bet this guy raped and murdered over the years?

Rip

Good

Where does the name Sumner some from?

RIPSummerRedstone

Good Riddance

That’s exciting! won’t have to eat the rich if they continue to drop dead 🙌🏽

😔

R.I.P., dear sir. 😢

Waiting for the other 2239 to join him.....

Terrific news thank you.

Coronavirus related death?

It's ill to speak of the dead. He's gone, lets move on.

Aaaand the court cases about his will begin in three, two, one... go!

REMINDER EVERYONE: YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU! STORE UP TREASURE IN HEAVEN NOT WHERE RUST AND MOSS CONSUME!

Since Bush I, he helped shape the Republican path for a man like Trump. 166 thousand American COVID-19 dead are probably thanking him now.

Very interesting 🤔

Rest in peace

G, I wonder where all his money went🙄🙄

One less jewish billionaire

Look at all the fucking money he left.

Why the F does this guy get a news story while my mother had to pay for obit for my dad. Did Redstone ever crawl between foxholes, under fire, to retrieve a radio after the radio operator was blown to pieces by a mortar round?

If he worked hard for his success, will all those on here with their hands already out feel any different?

He was given a long and prosperous life. I hope he learned something before his passing. Media as we know is pure evil.

Free Palestine

Wow. He lived a nice long life.

lmao

RIP

Good.

Just can't understand when someone has this much money, they don't want to share it with me?

RIP

let me get his money

Who cares, what has he done?

sumner deadstone

Rest In Peace may god be with you

So who gets his money, & what are their politics? That's all I care about.

SaveTheChildren

yall some petty ass people

Why do the oligarchs live for so many years?

Who gives a fuck

RIP!

Who gives a flying fuck

y’all know he has kids so they’ll keep the money

So sad. After all the great non-subversive work Viacom did for America and our culture. Makes me want to shoot a Palestinian child in the face.

So what !!!

So

Good fucking riddance

So he hoarded far more money than he could ever possibly need while others go hungry and war veterans freeze to death on the streets in winter.

I’ve never seen a Brinks truck in a funeral procession

That adrenochrome probably ran out lol SylentTyrant

Who?

And?

Sumner Murray Rothstein, one of the 6 Zionist media moguls who control all media and disappeared all israeli involvement in 9/11.

It’s actually pretty sad to see people happy about his death because of his wealth. Pretty disgusting

God speed Summer, and best thing. It’s not on the number in your check book.

Who?

It was probably covid. Ten bucks says they write that on his certificate

eat the rich😙😙

In my in the will :)

One down

And he gears up for fire pit.

And you can't take the $$$$$ with you...

He just couldn’t take to prospect of SleepyJoeAndTheHoe2020 winning in November and further destroying America

R.I.P. condolences to the family and friends 🙏

pog now burn his money

Who is he? Man died at 97, goddamn!!! Well RIP! I hope they doing donation because I can certainly use some of that money, he won’t even know 🤔

Is this who whatshisface from Succession is based on?

The devil 👿 came to collect. I could only imagine the bullshit he allowed to happen smh 🤦‍♂️ fucc em he lived a life millions could only dream of

His 21 year old widow grieving.

RE!! DISTRIBUTE!!!! HIS!!! BILLIONS!!!!

Who?

aww that’s unfortunate...anyways how’s everyone’s day going?

We unwittingly started an argument btwn him and his wife at a Viacom boondoggle in Barbados in '08. We'll leave it at that.

i can’t find one remorseful reply lmao

Never heard of him lmao

lol bye

What's the point of being a billionaire if they can't help you get to a 100?

Guess he had a pretty good run

A giant falls. God bless his soul

Cya

HowieCarrShow Sumner Redstone dies

More dead billionaires the merrier

Imagine saying a white billionaire helped shape the modern entertainment industry.... 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Unless im in his will I really don't care.

Tax that ass

Prayers for his family and friends 🙏

Big democrat donor

They should donate his money to help the poor

Weird, his name totally didn’t sound like the name of a Billonaire.

Good. He certainly got out after doing max damage.

Gone too young
