Did you mean Carl Icahn? Carl Icahn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

from that wiki article:

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 of positions in individual companies.[2] 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's, E-II (Culligan and Samsonite), American Can, USX, Marvel Comics, Revlon, Imclone, Federal-Mogul, Fairmont Hotels, Blockbuster, Kerr-McGee, Time Warner and Motorola.

In 2011 his net worth was US$12.5 billion, making him the 23rd richest American and the 61st richest man in the world.

If you meant to make that comparison, I think it's a pretty big stretch.
