Shari Redstone

Shari Redstone is president of National Amusements and vice-chairwoman of CBS Corporation and Viacom. She is the daughter of Sumner Redstone and Phyllis Gloria Raphael and 1975 graduate of Tufts University. She has three children with her former husband that all reside in New York City.

She was married to Grand Rabbi Yitzhak Aharon Korff. The marriage ended in divorce.

Sumner Redstone's trusts make it clear that Shari Redstone (Vice Chairwoman of the Board of Viacom, President of National Amusements) is set to assume his role upon his death. However, a November 22nd, 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(http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2007/09/19/redstone_says_he_relies_on_his_instinct/) . There have also been numerous articles stating that Sumner's marriage is in trouble.

Documents have recently been made public which verify that, as part of a settlement from Sumner's first dicorce, all of Sumner's stock is in irrevocable trusts that will be left to Shari's children.
