Aviv Nevo

Aviv "Vivi" Nevo (Hebrew: אביב נבו‎‎; born 1965[1]) is an Israeli and American venture capitalist who is believed to be a major shareholder in Time Warner.[2][3] His venture capital firm, NV Investments, is believed to invest in technology companies worldwide, and is said to have been an early backer of The Weinstein Company,[4] and the largest individual shareholder in Time Warner.[1]

Nevo is said to be averse to publicity. In July, 2008 Nevo said that long-running rumors of an engagement to Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi was true.[5] They separated in 2010.

Nevo is believed to have been born in Bucharest, Romania and then moved to Tel Aviv, Israel as an infant, with his father, a chemical engineer, and his mother, an anesthesiologist. He is an only child. It is believed that he built his fortune up from his initial $10 million inheritance.[1] Nevo is Jewish.[6]
