Burnett Sued Over Survivor Profits

By WENN, July 8 2008

British TV producer MARK BURNETT has been accused of failing to pay his former business partner the profits he made through TV game show SURVIVOR.

Conrad Riggs claims he helped Burnett manage his expanding business and negotiate deals with U.S. TV networks.

He also claims Burnett - who introduced Survivor and The Apprentice to the U.S. - agreed to pay him 10 per cent of all profits.

In a lawsuit filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday (07Jul08), Riggs claims he is entitled to $5 million (GBP2.5 million), reports TMZ.com.

A spokesman for Burnett was unavailable for comment.
