Cigar Aficionado People Profile Edgar Bronfman Jr. Edgar Jr., 47, had been handed the overwhelming responsibility of safeguarding the family's immense fortune for future generations and was determined to prove he was more than up to the task. On Edgar Jr.'s urging, this proud family traded in an heirloom that was the source of one of the world's great fortunes in exchange for a piece of a New Economy dream, and then watched in helpless horror as it all went terribly wrong. Edgar Sr., always more direct and blunt than his brother, described Messier as "paranoid," adding pointedly: "Even paranoids have enemies." For his part, Messier is still blaming just about everyone but himself for his downfall, as he settles into a new, much lower-profile life as a New Yorkñbased investment banker and media investor. www.cigaraficionado.com /Cigar/CA_Profiles/People_Profile/0,2540,176,00.html   (3414 words)

04/15/96 EDGAR IN HOLLYWOOD The Bronfman they'd more likely identify with was Samuel, the cutthroat, hot-tempered patriarch of the family--not Edgar Jr., a man described as "soulful" by one of his own executives, and one who turned to business only after nine desultory years trying his hand at the arts and producing two films that bombed. Now Bronfman appears poised to hire yet another professional nice guy, Frank Biondi Jr., as MCA's chief executive. Bronfman seems to know that inevitably he'll be compared with the older men who run competitive companies, and to his own grandfather, father, and uncle, who built and expanded Seagram's fortunes. www.csun.edu /~hfact004/moguls.html   (255 words)

Deal Time at Seagram (int'l edition) For Edgar Bronfman Jr., union with Vivendi and Canal+ would mark the end of a tumultuous, decade-long drive to transform the liquor company founded in Canada by his grandfather into a world-class media and entertainment company. 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.

BW Online June 15, 2000 For Edgar Bronfman, the Sweet Sorrow of Selling "But it's important to remind oneself that as a family we have always tried to operate in the best interests of all Seagram shareholders." If the acquisition proceeds as plans, Seagram will bow out with a total value of about $40 billion compared with $15 billion when Edgar Jr. Bronfman, the grandson of legendary Seagram founder Samuel Bronfman, admits to mixed emotions at the looming prospect of Seagram's disappearance as an independent company.

The Bronfmans sell stake in whiskey, and Jews have cause to raise a glass The third Bronfman generation, including Edgar Bronfman Jr., who ran Seagram for the past six years during which time he added Universal Studios and Geffen Records to the company's portfolio, has been far less visible in Jewish philanthropic circles than the older Bronfmans. Edgar, 71, is the president of the World Jewish Congress, where he led the battle to reclaim dormant Holocaust-era Swiss bank accounts for survivors and their heirs. But the Bronfman family — whose members have given millions of dollars to Jewish causes in their native Canada and around the world — is severing its generations-long connection to whiskey and spirits. www.jewishworldreview.com /0600/bronfman1.asp   (708 words)
