Whatever Happened to Ted Turner? - The Hollywood Reporter

Owning and managing (for one game) the Braves, TBS, CNN, winning America's Cup, bringing back Bison meat, etc. Sometimes his statements are whacked but it seems to take a special kind of person to achieve the things he has (similar to people like Richard Branson, etc.)

I wish he would buy back the Braves...
