Shari Redstone is president of National Amusements, vice-chairperson of CBS Corporation and Viacom, and on December 21, 2007 became Chairperson of Midway Games.[1] Through National Amusements, Shari Redstone and her family are majority owners of CBS Corporation, Viacom, and Midway Games, MTV Networks, BET, and movie production and distribution Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks movie studios, and are equal partners in MovieTickets.com. She is the daughter of Sumner Redstone and Phyllis Gloria Raphael, sister of Brent Redstone, granddaughter of Michael Redstone (of which he changed his name from Michael Rothstein), and 1975 graduate of Tufts University. She has three children with her former husband.
She was married to Grand Rabbi Yitzhak Aharon Korff. The marriage ended in divorce.
Sumner Redstone's trusts allegedly make it clear that Shari Redstone is set to assume Sumner's role upon his death. However, a November 22, 2006 New York Times article indicated that Redstone was reconsidering his daughter's role. Recently they have been feuding publicly over issues of corporate governance and the future of the cinema chain[1]. There have also been numerous articles stating that Sumner's marriage is in trouble.[2][3]
Documents have recently been made public which verify that, as part of a settlement from Sumner's first divorce, all of Sumner's stock is in irrevocable trusts that will be left to his grandchildren.[4]
