Call them the “Bickering Billionaires,” two financial titans who squared off in a breathtaking, unforgettable smackdown Friday on CNBC.
Bill Ackman, the head of Pershing Square Capital Management and its $12 billion in assets, squared off against Carl Icahn, the fellow activist investor and one of the richest men in America with an estimated fortune of nearly $15 billion.
The debate revolved around charges and countercharges, with Icahn calling Ackman dishonest and “a major loser,” while Ackman countered that Icahn is a bully “not used to someone standing up to him.”
