Don Buchwald, long-time agent to Howard Stern and many other stars, has passed away. He was 88.
In addition to being his agent, Buchwald also collaborated with Stern while serving as his manager and publicist. Stern referred to him on air as “Superagent Don Buchwald.”
He negotiated Stern’s $90 million-dollar-a-year contract with SiriusXM.
“I promised my father that the incredible agency he built from the ground up 47 years ago will not only continue to flourish but will evolve as we forge our path ahead,” wrote his daughter Julia Buchwald, the president of Buchwald’s West Coast office, in a statement. “I, along with my devoted teammates, intend to keep this promise and make Don proud.”
Buchwald died of natural causes at his home in the Massachusetts Berkshires.
