Madeleine Sackler

Madeleine Sackler is an American filmmaker and Sackler family heiress. She received an Emmy Award in 2015 and was nominated for a second in 2020. Her grandfather, Raymond, was one of the three Sackler brothers who created and owned Purdue Pharma, infamous for its role in the Opioid epidemic. She has received criticism for her family fortune, which derives mostly from the sale and manufacture of the highly addictive pharmaceutical opioid Oxycontin, the central drug in the opioid crisis.
