He names Viacom, Paramount Pictures, CBS Corp and MTV.
His terrifying and fearless technique led him to confront the film’s executives and even to fight with members of his family.
Redstone is credited with helping to save cinema through the emergence of the multiplex style in the 1960s, introducing films into grocery malls, and having more than one screen compatible with the site. His company ended up covering the worlds of film, television and publishing.
He controlled the Television networks Comedy Central and Nickelodeon and the highly successful video rental channel, and helped launch systems such as The Big Bang Theory and CSI in American homes, and box office hits like Titanic and Top Gun on the big screen.
News of his death was shown Wednesday via ViacomCBS.
Chief Executive Bob Bakish described Redstone as “a brilliant visionary, operator and negotiator who turned a circle of corporate movie family into a global media portfolio.”
He added: “It is a force of nature and a fierce competitor.”
Her previously separated daughter, Shari Redstone, who took over the business when her father’s fitness deteriorated, said she is “very proud to be her daughter.”
She told Variety in a statement: “My father led an ordinary life that not only shaped entertainment as we know it today, but created an incredible circle of family legacy.
“Despite everything, we share a wonderful love for each other and he is a glorious father, grandfather, and wonderful grandfather.
Redstone, who was married twice, won a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.
Towards the end, the legacy of his circle of relatives was marked through very public legal disputes over the company and the accusations of gifts in money given to his lovers.
Sumner Redstone, a former lawyer and harvard university graduate, once survived the fireplace of a hotel by clinging to the window windows of his third-floor hotel room and then beat prostate cancer.
“I don’t have the goal of retiring or dying,” the herbal food enthusiast said in a 2009 interview.
However, he resigned as chairman of Viacom and executive chairman of CBS’ board of directors in 2016 at the age of 92.
He had faced questions about his ability to run companies and was replaced on CBS through then-president and CEO Leslie Moonves and Viacom through Philippe Dauman.
According to Forbes magazine’s recent high estimates a few years ago, Redstone estimates about $4.6 billion (3.5 billion pounds).
He wrote in his 2001 autobiography A Passion to Win that his own father had Rothstein’s surname in Redstone.
“I don’t think my father was looking to be Jewish anymore,” he wrote. But other relatives said it was Sumner who sought the call to change, to avoid any unwarranted arrangements with gangster Arnold Rothstein.
