Sumner Redstone, the billionaire who built a media empire that counted CBS and Viacom among its holdings, died today at 97 by lisettevoytko

Sumner Redstone, the billionaire who built a media empire that counted CBS and Viacom among its holdings, died Tuesday at 97 according to aSumner Redstone at a Hollywood movie premiere.“Sumner was a man of unrivaled passion and perseverance, who devoted his life to his belief in the power of content.

In addition to stepping down from ViacomCBS, Redstone’s life was marked with a series of legal and public relations battles connected to his media empire, and his ferociousness was by Warner Brothers distributor Barry Reardon in 1994: “Being a competitor of Sumner Redstone’s is a fate worse than death.”In 2006, at age 83, Redstone notably axed Paramount’s deal with A-list actor Tom Cruise’s production company. Redstone made it clear that Cruise’s couch-jumping antics on Oprah Winfrey’s television show, along with his stumping for Scientology, were the reasons for severing the relationship.
