#214 David Ellison: Hollywood's New Landlord

from The Eclectic Polymath Podcast · host Joshua German

Fifteen years ago David Ellison was the rich kid whose flying movie flopped. On October 6, 2026, he closed the deal that put Warner Bros. and Paramount in the same hands, and no mogul in history has held a combination like it. The education in between was real: financing other people's slates, learning the business title by title, and producing Top Gun: Maverick, the movie that made him credible. Then came the Redstone fight for Paramount, Bari Weiss at CBS News, and a hostile run at Warner Bros. Discovery backed by his father's Oracle fortune, with the data centers and cloud empire humming underneath the studio. Larry Ellison was the showman. David is the quiet operator running the same playbook in silence, and he is just getting started. Follow along for the next deep dive. Stay curious.
