The Billion Dollar CNN Legacy.. RIP Ted Turner Dies at 87
The visionary who completely changed television has passed away. Ted Turner, the billionaire founder of CNN, has died at eighty-seven. He had been quietly battling Lewy body dementia since twenty eighteen. Back in nineteen eighty, people actually laughed when he launched the first twenty-four-hour news channel. They were wrong. He transformed global journalism forever. Beyond his media empire, he built a massive net worth of over two billion dollars and became one of America's largest private landowners. Ted Turner was a true rebel who reshaped history. What do you think is his greatest legacy?
