Whatever we think of Ted (Atlanta native here) we can still say RIP.

He was not a self made man, however- he inherited an advertising company and leveraged it into a media empire. Billionaires are only made by standing on the shoulders of a previous generation; and by treading upon the working class

I was never impressed by his wealth, but he was a good sailor. For that I can give him some respect.
