Redstone, Wife Split
After weeks of rumors, the Los Angeles Times breaks the news definitively: Sumner Redstone and his wife of five years, Paula Fortunato, are splitting, with the Viacom chief filing divorce papers last Friday. The couple have “amicably ended our marriage,” a spokesman said. Fortunato, 46, will receive at least $5 million of Redstone’s own money—not his troubled company’s. The Times writes: “The merger of Fortunato, a former third-grade teacher in New York City, and Redstone culminated after a blind date arranged by a mutual friend and executive at Bear Stearns & Co, according to the couple’s 2003 wedding announcement in the New York Times. It is worth noting that Bear Stearns also did not survive.”
