They obviously, at a basic level, stand to gain one of the most iconic companies in Hollywood history.
There is no way to separate David Ellison's rise in Hollywood from his father and the impact his father has had on his career, funding his efforts in Hollywood basically throughout the past 20 years from Skydance, the company he ran, and more recently to buying Paramount and now trying to buy Warner Brothers.
He loves movies.
He loves the movie business.
He wants it to be successful.
He wants to build a sustainable company that becomes a real player in Hollywood after years of kind of decline.
Larry has a really interesting background.
He was born on the Lower East Side in New York City, given up for adoption by his mother, never met his father, moved to Chicago with his adopted family when he was less than a year old.
Larry likes to describe his childhood as kind of rough in some ways.
His adopted father would apparently say to Larry pretty regularly as a kid, you're never going to amount to anything.
You're no good.
Larry, as he built Oracle, the tech company he founded, and as that company grew and grew, he would tell this story over and over again.
And the way he described it was that he had all of the disadvantages necessary for success.
And what he meant by that is he had all of the innate motivation to prove himself.
He didn't grow up wealthy, so he was going out there to build his wealth, to build his reputation, to prove himself to his father.
And what's interesting about Larry is he is, in fact, one of the most colorful people in all of Silicon Valley.
One of his best friends was Steve Jobs, and Steve described Larry as sort of the poster child for outrageous CEO.
He spends money very lavishly on real estate, on giant yachts.
He owns an entire Hawaiian island.
But the reason he's kind of skated by is Oracle, the company he founded, is without question the most boring company
