TED TURNER | 79

Everyone knows Cable News Network or CNN as it is often called, but not everyone knows the man behind it. That man is Ted Turner. He is a wealthy media genius and a very charitable person at heart as he occasionally makes donations to charity and even once to the United Nations in the hefty sum of $1 billion, which led to the creation of the United Nations Foundation. He has been out of marriage up to three times and is now single.

His lawyer has may have been busy, looking into Turner’s businesses. Let’s hope that people who handle their finances are just as active as well. In 1980, he founded CNN, a 24-hour news network, and eight years later, he founded Turner Network Television or TNT as we know it. Turner was the man behind Cartoon Network when he bought Hanna Barbera in 1991 and began airing on October 1, 1992.
