Jeffrey Katzenberg Raises $591.5 Million for New Media Venture

Jeffery Katzenberg raised $591.5 million to fund investments in new media ventures, the next chapter in the career of the tireless Hollywood mogul who brought hits like “Shrek” to movie theaters.

Katzenberg, who rose to prominence as a production executive at Walt Disney Co.’s movie studio, has been plotting his next move since selling DreamWorks Animation to Comcast Corp. last year. His new company, WndrCo LLC, disclosed the funding in a regulatory filing Thursday.
