Redstone: The Lonely Emperor Of The Media Empire

In order to live longer, Redstone, 84, also swims every day and plays tennis regularly.

He said, "I want to live long. As long as I live, I will not retire to Beverly Hills."

I am still a professional manager.

The most concealed and expensive place on the high slope of Beverly Hills is called Beverly Garden. It is a vast expanse of green space. There are ten styles of luxury houses in the trees and flowers, and the heavy iron gates that separate these mansions from the rest of the world.

Foreigners, unless they have an appointment with the tenants and inform the security guards, will not be able to fly at all.

All those living here are the gleaming stars of Hollywood, or the senior producers and media tycoons behind them.

The list of households is one after another: Daniel Washington, Eddie Murphy...

Even the smallest house has never been sold below $10 million.

There is a 84 year old man living in a big house near Beverly Garden.

Although the old man does not show much on television, he actually controls nearly half of the American TV and movie programs including Cbs Broadcasting Inc, Paramount Pictures, Viacom media, and music channel network. His name is Samer Redstone (SumnerRedstone).

Rothstein, a vigorous tyrant, is a typical Jewish family name.

In 1940, when young samer was 17 years old, his family changed his family name. Maybe it was clouded by the Nazis. People were worried about the future and did not know what kind of fate the Jews would have.

After he entered the University, he fought the battle.

Redstone, who was smart, hardworking and accomplished, chose military service instead of landing in Normandy, but with a group of other smart young people to decipher the telegram code of the Japanese army.

Redstone's experience in serving in the army earned him a grand recommendation from the military and stayed in Washington, D.C.

After that, he went to Georgetown University to study law, and then pferred to Harvard University's law school.

Redstone seems to be walking on a typical road of countless Jewish youths: doctors or lawyers.

Redstone continued to walk on the path of careful planning: after obtaining a law degree from Harvard University, he first worked in Washington, D.C., and then went to work in the Justice Department of San Francisco.

After that, he started practicing as a lawyer.

If his lawyer career continues, there may be more than a famous lawyer in the world, not a media tycoon who can make Hollywood shiver.

But after several years of employment, Redstone gave up his legal career and turned to the small media business his father started.

Redstone's father, Michael Lostan, owns a small cinema line in Northeast Seoul, Massachusetts.

Redstone has injected new vitality into the Northeast theatre. Although his monthly salary is only 6 thousand dollars, his work has made the company's business flourishing.

He reorganized the Northeast theatre as "national entertainment company" and bought shares of Cbs Broadcasting Inc, Fawkes, Orion film company and paramount company in twenty-first Century.

In the early 80s, he sold shares and made amazing profits, greatly expanded the territory of national entertainment companies, and gained control of Viacom in 1987 through unfriendly business planning.

Viacom was making television programs for Cbs Broadcasting Inc and several other media. Redstone was interested in it because he believed that "content is king". His media management philosophy is: there are many ways of media, but what kind of victory depends on the media's programs?

He is an energetic, grumpy, ambitious man in business.

He often yells and is rude to his subordinates. He is a difficult person to work with. (in fact, he doesn't need to work with people as long as he gives orders).

The people around him openly said that Redstone had no intimate friends in his personal life, nor did he know what his close friends were.

He is a workaholic and he doesn't have his own home.

His wife, Phyllis, lives alone in Boston. He has lived in hotels in New York or Losangeles for years, reading documents, discussing business and directing research on the company's stock.

His near tyrant style of management has made his staff miserable. The servants of a group of companies secretly believe that their hormones need to be balanced. In other words, a real relationship between men and women may give the boss a fresh look.

Redstone is not without a date. He has dated many other women since 90s, but no relationship has been reached. No woman can touch Redstone and soften his personality.

But time proved that Redstone was not an indestructible rock. He met a woman who was forty years younger than him.

For this woman, he finally divorced from his ex-wife and had a family, built at the Beverly Garden on the top of Hollywood, home with Stallone.

In the 2002 version of Cinderella in New York, Redstone, 38, finally wore the wedding ring she gave.

In the past three years, Redstone and his first wife Phyllis were formally divorced.

However, this is not another story of a nugget who married into a wealthy family. Redstone is not the two divorced Murdoch who is married to the spouses. He is smart enough to spend money on alimony.

He married Mara because she was a woman worthy of his change.

The world of Redstone is completely absent from the world.

She was the daughter of a cardiac surgeon who had worked in a pharmaceutical company but hated this job. She had done her dream job, the face painter, but found that she could not cope with this high-intensity physical labor.

Later, she accepted her mother's advice and returned to school to re - read her degree in education and become a primary school teacher in the Upper East District of Manhattan, New York.

From then on, she found her own happy career in this school for thirteen years.

On the annual salary of fifty thousand dollars, she rented a small apartment in a small room, and was always happy to meet her friends.

She also had occasional appointments, but she never found the right person.

The husband of one of her friends is Redstone's stockbroker.

When he accidentally mentioned it with colleague Stephen swardwood, the sensitive smell of Stewart immediately thought of introducing her to his boss Redstone: in fact, as long as there was a slightest possible woman, they could not wait to plug in Redstone, hoping that the tenderness of the world could bring Redstone closer to ordinary people.

Moreover, swawood thinks that dating a billionaire is not the dream of all women.

But it's wrong.

When he called glassA, he was not interested at all.

Swawwood thought that the name of Redstone would be incoherent. In fact, he did not know who he was. He needed paper notes to make sure that he had not misspelled the name of the Hollywood.

Swathwood had to enumerate a series of large companies under the name of Lei Shi to enhance his reputation for the boss, like a dowry, even though, even though he did not hesitate to promise his first date.

Despite the fact that the referrals had made great efforts to play the role of Redstone, he had made full preparations based on the experience of disappointment to the New York men: she even took enough money to take the taxi to prevent the man from sending her home after the appointment.

Redstone, who is quite interested in Bo La, is even a little nervous about the blind date.

Because he is not "insider" at all, he really wants to do something to attract her attention.

Besides, he has always respected educators.

In addition, Redstone could not imagine how a woman lived in New York for fifty thousand dollars in the year.

He not only meticulously modified the appearance, but also temporarily pulled a closer subordinate and his girlfriend to go for fear of the cold market.

In a restaurant in midtown, Manhattan, Redstone observed glassy, and thought she had a good appearance and a very interesting conversation.

She knew nothing about Redstone's world and aroused Redstone's interest.

On the other hand, she was also very impressed by Redstone. He was a real gentleman and really listened patiently to her conversation.

In a long time in New York, she has never met such a man. She once complained that why men in New York are bastards, never pay their bills, and even want to make love without a car.

Redstone called her second days and asked her to attend a party in his circle.

"No," said bull.

Redstone almost gets angry: are you playing a show of restraint?

It's my duty to have a parent's meeting tonight.

Redstone immediately relaxed: then I'll pick you up after the parent's meeting.

There is only a little time for baera to change into a cocktail dress and wipe the chalk dust on the hand in the school dressing room.

While she attended the entertainment party with Redstone, she did not have a clear idea of Redstone's wealth and power, but she was completely dumped by the beautifully flawless beauties at the party.

She always remembered that she was still covered with chalk dust on her fingers.

Redstone and Bo LA's feelings are advancing by leaps and bounds. However, she refused to give up her profession: primary school teachers.

She did not delay the children's lessons for Redstone's request, and Redstone wanted him to accompany him at every moment of his free time.

So every Friday afternoon, Redstone's limousine went to the school of PLA, waiting for her, waiting for her to go to the airport and take a private plane to Losangeles after work.

There, glora corrects homework, Redstone does his work, and then dinner with Redstone's friends or colleagues in Hollywood or attending the Party of Hollywood stars in the evening.

Since he met Bo La, Redstone has changed his temper greatly. His subordinates feel that the tight string can be relaxed when they get along with their bosses.

Sometimes, pola is like a primary school teacher who even tells Redstone to pay attention to language politeness.

Redstone and his ex-wife have been in residence for almost ten years, and since they met with him, they did not want to be separated even for a day.

Knowing that, Redstone officially launched the legal process of divorce with his ex-wife.

It is said that Redstone has paid tens of millions of divorce alimony.

After the formal divorce, Redstone took dozens of diamond rings home, called Bo LA to pick them up one day.

It was embarrassing for her to wear a wedding ring, so she didn't wear it for a long time.

However, the news of the media tycoon's re marriage quickly spread around the circle.

After marriage, Redstone suddenly felt the necessity of family life, so he bought a house in Beverly Garden.

The owner of the house was Stallone, who lived in an apartment next door. He bought two neighboring investments.

Redstone learned that Viacom's boss, who wanted to buy it, was automatically reduced by one million and five hundred thousand.

In the new home, Redstone has raised several large tanks of pet fish -- his only hobby in life.

The empire is collapsing?

At the age of 84, he lived in the mansion of Beverly Hills. He was still the real controller of Viacom, Columbus broadcasting and national cinema.

And from time to time he will show his strength and show the world that his iron wrist has not softened.

Not long ago, he had a vicious battle with his daughter, Sally, so that observers began to wonder if the huge media empire would go to pieces.

In the late 80s of last century, Lei Shi Dong was busy with the new Viacom company and had no energy to take care of his original national entertainment company.

He desperately needs another Redstone help.

He and his wife, Phyllis, have a son and a daughter, son Brent Redstone and daughter Sally Redstone.

Although Brent was the eldest son, his father thought that his ability and talent were far less than his daughter, so he chose to give this heavy responsibility to his daughter.

Sally Redstone was divorced and raised three children alone.

Her ex husband was a rabbi of Judaism. After the divorce, he married a daughter of a Jewish rabbi family born in Jerusalem.

A few years ago, Redstone even amended the family trust fund's Testament, and designated Sally to succeed him in the three company's current presidency after a hundred years.

In 2005, Redstone split Viacom into two pieces and handed them to two more than 20 years of love.

In 2006, Redstone suddenly dismissed the one of Tom Freiston (TomFreston) on the pretext of a great setback of Viacom's share price, and observers thought it was the old Redstone to pave the way for his daughter's successor.

Father and daughter often play tennis together or play a very difficult intellectual game when they are on the same plane.

This bias and appreciation made his son Brent very jealous. He once worked in Viacom for some time, but now he has nothing to do with the company.

Now Brent lives in a ranch in Colorado, and even has no trust in the property.
