Ted Sarandos is the maverick Netflix content chief, bridging fractious relations between the studios and Silicon Valley; Nicole Avant is the Beverly Hills-bred record exec's daughter now back from her Bahamas ambassadorship. Together, they just made the top tier of Obama "bundlers," raising more than half a million dollars in one night. A second term for the president is just one of their goals.

Billionaire mogul haim Saban threw open his arms as he arrived to meet first lady Michelle Obama at the Beverly Hills home of Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos and his wife of 2½ years, Nicole Avant, the newly returned U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas.
