PROFILE |
 |
Hollywood has gotten a splash in the face: Vivendi Universal has evolved from a water utility to an entertainment giant. In 2000 Vivendi bought Canada's Seagram (owner of Universal Music Group and Universal Studios) and the 51% of European pay-TV provider CANAL+ (which reaches about 15 million subscribers) that it didn't already own. The firm also owns publisher Vivendi Universal Publishing (formerly Havas), telecom provider Cegetel, 42% of USA Networks, and 63% of Vivendi Environnement (the world's #1 water distributor), which offers water and waste management services, produces electric power, and provides road and rail transportation. It is selling the Seagram drinks business and most of its construction and real estate holdings.
