The Redstone Family's Stake in Paramount

The Redstone family's stake in Paramount Pictures originated from the business dealings of Sumner Redstone, who built his media empire through a series of acquisitions and investments.

Sumner Redstone's company, National Amusements, acquired a significant stake in Viacom (the parent company of Paramount Pictures) in 1987. He later merged Viacom with CBS in 2019, creating ViacomCBS, which was rebranded as Paramount Global in 2022. The Redstone family did not invest in Paramount during its early days, but rather acquired their stake through later business dealings and strategic investments.

You commented on Sumner Redstone's biography. He was a businessman and media magnate, born in 1923, who expanded his family's drive-in movie theater business into a multinational media conglomerate, acquiring Viacom and CBS, and leaving a legacy as a influential media mogul before passing away in 2020.
