Who on Earth is Haim Saban?

As I was enjoying a slice of pineapple pizza something in the newest TIME magazine caught my eye. I found this quote in the Verbatim column:

"We have two numbers in the Jewish belief that are lucky numbers. One is 18, and the other is seven. I thought 18 was kind of too high, so I went with seven."

Obviously, that bit isn't terribly important to TMNT fans. The part that is important is who they attributed it to.

"HAIM SABAN, TV executive and creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who gave a record $7 million to the Democratic National Committee."

I think all of us here know who created the TMNT, and its not this dude. So who is he? Isn't Saban the name of the company that made Next Mutation? Or am I just confused.

I'm going to e-mail TIME about their mistake, but I'd like to know who this guy is first. They don't have an e-mail address for notifying them of mistakes. (Heck, who would?) But they do have [email protected]
