Nelson Peltz is the CEO of Triarc Cos (TRY). He is a well-known turn-around artist who has made billions being a corporate raider and activist.
Note: His hedge fund, Trian, was started in late 2005 and returned 37% in 2006.
From Fortune article:
"A college dropout who went to work driving trucks for his father's food-distribution business, he lives in baronial splendor on two of the most luxurious estates in the land. Since launching his empire in the 1980s with the help of Michael Milken's junk bonds, Peltz has suffered through censure by the London Stock Exchange and the collapse of a big British real estate company he ran in the early 1990s, and he's won the scorn of corporate watchdogs for his compensation."
"Peltz makes no apologies. "I believe in pay for performance," he says. "People would be happy to pay a CEO a large amount of comp for doing what I've done with Triarc or Triangle." He points out that Triarc's shares have jumped from a split-adjusted price of $1 to $19 since he started negotiating with raider Victor Posner in 1991, and that the market cap has risen from $80 million to $1.8 billion."
