RedBird founder Gerry Cardinale further stated this is his firm’s biggest investment to date.

She added, “Our hope is that the Skydance transaction will enable Paramount’s continued success in this rapidly changing environment.

We believe in Paramount and we always will.”

After the merger, the new company will be valued at $28 billion, with David Ellison as CEO.

David Ellison’s first job was writing code for his father, he told reporters. He also shared that he talks to his billionaire father “all the time.”
