Univisión chairman has Midas touch

It’s March 4, and Haim Saban can barely tear his eyes away from the big-screen TV that sits on the wall of his expansive office. Primaries in Texas and Ohio could make or break his presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

”This election has made me age five years,” jokes the dapper Saban, a media mogul and one of the country’s top donors to the Democratic Party. “I’m biting my fingernails; I’m getting wrinkles.”

Any other day, a syrupy Spanish-language telenovela instead of CNN election news might be airing on the big screen. A polyglot Israeli billionaire, Saban is chairman of the board of Univisión Communications, the country’s biggest Spanish-language media company. Headquartered in New York, Univisión has a major production facility in Miami.”*
