Sumner Redstone Sues Ex-Girlfriends for $150,000,000

Billionaire Sumner Redstone is suing his two ex-girlfriends for $150,000,000 for elder abuse, saying they isolated him from his family and took his money. The 93-year-old CBS mogul says the two women, Manuela Herzer and Sydney Holland, received $150 million in gifts from him, leaving him owing taxes. Redstone’s attorney believes “They manipulated and emotionally abused Redstone to get what they wanted, jewelry, designer clothing, real estate in Beverly Hills, New York, Paris and money, lots of it. Holland had a ‘”to do” list that included the notation: “The first thing is changing the trust to add both of our names on it. How many people does Sumner need to remove to achieve that?” Redstone is worth $40 billion.
