The Power Rangers series debuted in 1993 and ran for more than 20 seasons. It also spawned several films, including one debuting Friday that had an estimated production budget of some $105 million, according to IMDB.
In addition to his work in Hollywood, Saban is a longtime supporter of Jewish causes like Friends of the Israel Defense Forces and the American Israel Education Foundation in Los Angeles. Saban was also active in the 2016 election, donating $2.5 million to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. His wife donated another $2.5 million.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover. All donations are being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
