Millionaire creators win £177m in court

The most successful game show in the history of television is “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” and the show’s UK based creators have won a bonus payout of £177 million following a drawn out legal battle.

The case was against Disney which has been showing the US version of the show through the ABC network since 1999.

It turns out that the show is amongst the ten most popular of all time in the US, but Disney had failed to give Celedor its full share of the profits.

So finally, after two years of trying to sort it out of court and six years in court, a judge has ruled in favour of Celedor and awarded them with £177 million.
