Donald Trump S Alt Right Adviser Steve Bannon Is Still Getting Rich Off Of Seinfeld
Bannon himself spoke to Bloomberg about the deal last year, explaining what happened when his firm was hired by Westinghouse Electric to negotiate a minority stake acquisition in Castle Rock Entertainment, which diehard Seinfeldians will recognize as the production company that made Seinfeld: The irony is clear: Under Bannon, Breitbart News often used antisemitic themes in its articles and headlines, including, as just one example, the headline describing Bill Kristol as a “renegade Jew.” At the same time, Bannon was getting rich off of Seinfeld, a sitcom that throughout its run was rich in Jewish heritage both in front of and behind the camera. As for exactly how much money Bannon has made from his stake in Seinfeld, no one knows for sure because the details of the deal aren’t a matter of public record. But one recent report has Seinfeld earning an incredible $3.1 billion so far in reruns, so even the smallest sliver of that pie would be worth millions.
