CNN founder Ted Turner has died at the age of 87.
The billionaire died on Wednesday, according to the cable news network he founded.
Turner had four children and was famously married to Hollywood star Jane Fonda between 1991 and 2001.
Turner was nicknamed the 'Mouth of the South' for often being outspoken, and built a media empire that included movies and sports channels, as well as owning the Atlanta Braves.
He was named Time's 'Man of the Year' in 1991 for 'influencing the dynamic of events and turning viewers in 150 countries into instant witnesses of history.'

I didn’t know him personally, but he was one of the people of all time.
The way I remember him is that he was thought of as conservative until he tried to buy CBS and the left turned him down, he then became a liberal and married Jane Fonda and became more powerful.
RIP.
Quite the visionary.
