Carl Celian Icahn (born February 16, 1936) is an American billionaire financier, corporate raider, and private equity investor. Carl Icahn's net worth is $14.5 billion as of 2007, making him the 18th richest man in America.[1]
Raised in Queens, New York City, Icahn developed a reputation as a great corporate raider after his hostile takeover of TWA in 1985.[2]
Speaking before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Airline Consolidation on February 7, 2001, Representative Gregory W. Meeks stated, “… an [airline] industry that once-upon-a-time, not too long ago, was represented by two individuals whom I believe have the lowest of character and no integrity. Two individuals who intentionally bankrupted successful companies for their own personal gain. As many of you know, I am speaking of Carl Icahn and Frank Lorenzo.”
Icahn was educated at Princeton University (A.B., Philosophy, 1957) and New York University School of Medicine, where he dropped out before graduation.
Icahn began his career on Wall Street in 1961. In 1968, he formed Icahn & Co., a securities firm that focused on risk arbitrage and options trading. In 1978, he began taking control positions in individual companies. He has taken substantial or controlling positions in various corporations including: RJR Nabisco, TWA, Texaco, Phillips Petroleum, Western Union, Gulf & Western, Viacom, Uniroyal, Dan River, Marshall Field, E-II (Culligan and Samsonite), American Can, USX, Marvel Comics, Revlon, Imclone, Federal-Mogul, Fairmont Hotels, Kerr-McGee, Time Warner and Motorola.
Icahn made extensive use of financier Michael Milken's junk bonds. After the junk bond and overall market bust in the early 1990s, Icahn played a lower-profile role in the business world, preferring to be less public in his dealings.
