Activist investor, billionaire casino mogul, and thorn in the side of Chrysler and GM has passed away at age 98. Kerkorian tried to take over Chrysler twice and nine years ago tried to form a deal between General Motors and Nissan-Renault. In 2008 he spent more than $1 billion buying a 6.5% stake in Ford. That made him its largest outside shareholder.
