	Bronfman Family
		Until recently the best-known member of the family was Samuel Bronfman (b at Soroki, Bessarabia, or en route from Russia 27 Feb 1889; d at Montréal, Qué 10 July 1971).
		With the coming of PROHIBITION in Canada, the Bronfmans turned their energies to the interprovincial package liquor trade, purchasing stocks of spirits which were sold at a good profit.
		Bronfman (b at Montréal, Qué 20 June 1929), Sam's eldest son, was chairman of the board and chief executive officer (until 1994) of the company.

	Edgar Bronfman, Sr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edgar Miles Bronfman (born June 20, 1929) is a Canadian businessman and a member of the Bronfman dynasty, and the father of Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
		Bronfman's marriage to Lady Townsend was annulled on November 21, 1974 (the marriage lasted less than a year), and was followed by a high-profile messy divorce proceeding.
		Bronfman, who now owns a large chunk of the struggling French conglomerate Vivendi (nyse: V - news - people), admitted to his issues with matrimony in a 1989 Newsday interview: "Marriage is an institution, and if you like living in an institution, well then go right ahead."

	Bronfman Launches Bid for His Old Empire - BizReport
		He steered his family's money into the entertainment industry and then into an ill-fated merger with Vivendi Universal SA, which promised to become a global media giant but instead was a disintegrating disaster, doing little more than sucking Bronfman family millions into a fl hole.
		Bronfman still is not regarded as the front-runner, but if he succeeds in winning Universal movie studios and television, the Universal theme parks and the jewel he covets the most -- Universal Music Group -- it would be the second time he has fought his way back from laughingstock to Hollywood player.
		Bronfman watched as his family's fortune fizzled, and then moved on two fronts: First, he "wrestled the [other North American] directors to the ground" and led the board coup that resulted in Messier's ouster, said the source close to the Bronfman family.

		Seagram and the Charles Bronfman family are very proud of their distinguished philanthropic record to Canadian universities, adds John Hobday, Seagram's spokesperson.
		The Bronfmans' private donations in the same time period have included $10 million for the establishment of McGill University's Institute for the Study of Canada and $1.5 million towards the creation and continued funding of the University of Waterloo's Centre for Cultural Management.
		In the case of the Bronfman family trusts in question, capital gains had accrued on this property since 1971, worth approximately $750 million in taxes.

		But at his funeral last week at the Congregation Shaar Hashomayim in Montreal, Bronfman family and friends recalled him as a shy and endearing man who would be remembered far more for his innate decency and devotion to family than for any formidable prowess as a financier.
		Bronfman also served as director of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews and supported numerous other Jewish and non-Jewish causes, among them the the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, United Jewish Appeal, Jewish National Fund, Hebrew University, and the Canadian Council for Native Business.
		Bronfman was survived by wife Marsha, sons Paul, David and Brian, stepdaughter Lisa and seven grandchildren.

		Bronfman was rooted with a sense of tikkun olam.
		The Bronfman family has long manufactured ultra-successful, self-made businessmen with strong Jewish values, as similar to the mass producing of the Captain Morgan’s spiced rum for which Seagrams is known.
		Bronfman believes that their spiritual awakening had to do with the death of his grandfather, Sam, which "prompted them to search for additional meaning in their lives," he said.

	Ken Auletta :: Articles - Rising Son
		From the time Edgar Bronfman, Jr., skipped college for a career in Hollywood to his decision to take over and redirect a large part of his family's Seagram Company, he has had a clear sense of what he wants his achievements to be.
		Bronfman, who had not been in his office for two days, was rumored to have scheduled a press conference for seven-thirty that night, to announce that Seagram, the six-billion-dollar spirits, wine, beverage, and investment company, would raise its Time Warner stock holdings from almost fifteen per cent to outright ownership.
		Bronfman's next major acquisition owes something to a 1985 trip he made to Asia as one of about thirty leading business executives--a trip sponsored by Time, Inc. In South China and elsewhere in Asia, Bronfman was stunned at the popularity of cognac--a legacy of the French colonial era--which is usually drunk with ice and water.

		Bronfman was born into a family whose name long has been synonymous with great wealth and business success in Canada.
		Edward Bronfman's father, Allan, was the brother of Samuel Bronfman, the founder of the Seagram liquor company, which over the decades grew into one of the world's largest distilling firms.
		In the 1960s, however, Edward Bronfman and his brother Peter were forced out of Seagram by their uncle, Samuel, and their cousins, Charles and Edgar, to whom they sold their shares of the company after a nasty public feud.

	Deal Time at Seagram (int'l edition)
		In Bronfman's view, Seagram was at a disadvantage not only because of its size but because of its strategic imbalance, being heavily weighted toward content (particularly music) and away from distribution (particularly television).
		Bronfman grew up in the shadow of what his predecessors had created and came to define himself in relation to their corporate legacy, first by resisting and then by embracing it.
		Founder Samuel Bronfman (1891-1971) was both a brilliantly intuitive businessman and a hot-tempered tyrant who bullied his brothers into submission--or out of Seagram--and enflamed the question of succession by pitting his own two sons, Edgar and Charles, against each other.

		Bronfman had to eat those words after his disastrous decision to sell Canada-based Seagram —; which he had built into a media power based on the acquisition of the Universal entertainment properties — to France's then-high-flying Vivendi three years ago in a deal that has cost his family billions.
		Bronfman, who will run the company, is mum on his plans to return the business to healthy profits, but immediate moves are likely to focus on cost-cutting, including possibly merging or folding some record labels and cutting the roster of artists under contract — currently 800 in 70 countries.
		Bronfman thought he was setting up a marriage of equals when he sold Seagram to Vivendi in 2000.

		Sam Bronfman (1891 - 1971) was the patriarch of the family dynasty, the son of Russian Jews—Mindel and Ekiel Bronfman—who migrated to the Americas seeking refuge from pogroms of Czarist Russia.
		While it is doubtful that Sam foresaw the energy crisis of subsequent decades as he later claimed, there is no question that his acquisition was a remarkable financial coup—at a time when "leveraged buyouts" were a concept of the future.
		Terence Robertson, the only writer known to have previously attempted a Bronfman biography (it was never published), took his own life after completing a rough draft of the manuscript.

		We conclude that membership in the Bronfman group of companies is probably an important variable in influencing the return of portfolios.
		While the mean return is insignificant over the earliest period (0.60% per year with a t-statistic of 0.13), it is significantly negative (both adjusted and unadjusted for the factor beta) over the second period.
		While our research has shown the possible existence of a common factor associated with linkage to the Bronfman family, there is no way to accurately forecast the future performance of this factor.

		Harris' three-year-old legal fight was prompted by a controversial tax ruling by Revenue Canada in 1991 that allowed the Bronfmans to move more than $2-billion worth of Seagram Co. stock, held in two family trusts, to the United States without paying capital gains tax.
