86 years old (Born on November 19, 1938)
Happy Birthday, Ted Turner! The man who boldly turned the dial and gave us CNN—the first-ever 24-hour news network. Thanks to you, millions discovered that sleep is optional when breaking stories unfold at midnight. Your visionary gamble reshaped television forever—though we're still debating whether that's a blessing or curse!From sailing victories in America's Cup races to your legendary philanthropy protecting bison herds and wild spaces—you've always charted new waters fearlessly. May this birthday bring as much excitement as launching global media empires (but hopefully fewer sleepless nights). Here's wishing you continued success—and perhaps finally some downtime between headlines!
