Zhang Ziyi had previously announced in a high-profile manner at Cannes International Film Festival that he had signed three films with Weinstein Film Company in Hollywood, including a remake of the classic film Seven Samurai by Mulan and Kurosawa with the theme of China. In fact, Ivey Niwoff is the owner of Zhang Ziyi's latest film, and one of the indirect owners behind Weinstein Film Company.
There is a story about the mystery of Nevo's background: When Nevo appeared on the list of some outstanding people in the United States in recent years, the famous Forbes magazine had hoped to investigate his situation clearly in order to count whether he should appear on their list of billionaires. As a result, they finally had to give up.
Even a friend of 21 years doesn't know how much money Vivi Nevo really has, and how did he make it? Nicolas Rachline, an old friend of Vivi Nevo for more than 21 years, is the most representative: "What exactly does Vivi do? He seems to be a big shot in the entertainment industry. "
according to the investigation, he owns one property in Malibu, a famous gathering place in California, Brentwood community in Los Angeles, Tribeca community in new york and London, England. In addition, he owns two properties in Tel Aviv. He and Zhang Ziyi jointly bought a house in Beijing, probably for the purpose of moving to his wife's family after he married Zhang Ziyi.
The more public version is: Vivinevo lived in an apartment in Manhattan more than 21 years ago and invested with the money left by his family, most of which was in the field of media and Internet companies. As a result, he was inextricably linked with the media world. Because he invested in 1 companies, his shareholding did not exceed 5%, so he did not need to trade publicly and always refused to be interviewed, so he became increasingly mysterious.
according to one of his business partners, Nevo owns shares in at least 25 companies, most of which are media-related companies and internet companies, thus winning the title of "media magician" in the business world. However, those investments are not too large. Take his shares in Weinstein Brothers, an independent film tycoon, as an example. The value is around $1 million, and the rest are in six figures.
A spokesman for time warner Inc. Group said that Vivi is indeed a major shareholder of time warner Inc., but he would not disclose the proportion of his shares. It is reported that his shares are enough to give him a say in the group's board of directors, and he has not been involved in group affairs for one or two years.
