Default Carl Icahn is moving from Manhattan to Florida.

He is giving anyone working for him 50K to relocate or he will give them a severance fee.

I find him to be an interesting man. Here are some of his quotes;

You learn in this business: It you want a friend, get a dog.
Don't go in and tell somebody else how to run their business.
I enjoy the hunt much more than the 'good life' after the victory.
My wife watches me like a hawk.
Anyone that makes me a quarter of a billion dollars, I like.
When you have no one to answer to, vendetta as investment strategy is as legitimate as anything.
In 2008, people who invested in hedge funds needed capital badly, but many of the funds would not return their money. However, I gave money back to any investor who requested it. It was the bottom of the market and a pretty tough time.
I'm a cynic about corporate democracy and boards.
