About

Founder of CNN and Turner Broadcasting media empire, philanthropist, sailing champion, professional sports team owner and enthusiast, self-made billionaire, environmentalist, conservationist, restaurateur – the words to describe Ted Turner are practically endless. Throughout the past several decades, Turner has proven himself to be a true, American renaissance man. However, these days, he prefers horseback riding and fly fishing to sailing, and his focuses have shifted from cable ratings and baseball standings to species conservation and nuclear weapons eradication, among many other passions. Turner hopes for a simple, yet momentous legacy – “to leave this world a better place for future generations to come.”
