Name the richest man in the universe that is an unswerving supporter and very close friend of President Trump?
Yes, Larry Ellison.
If the acquisition goes through, CNN becomes a property of the Ellison family.
Let that sink in.
CNN is part of the Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) universe, which was formed in 2022 when Discovery merged with AT&T's WarnerMedia business, which included CNN. However, in mid-2025, WBD announced plans to split into two companies, with CNN slated to be part of the new Discovery Global entity, separate from the film and streaming assets.
Does the Ellison family have to act quickly to get CNN?
But besides the CNN story, there's a whole lot more. You just have to love Larry Ellison uncanny knack for seeing potential.
