Do your research. This isn't hard to understand. Also, spell Buffett's name correctly.
Buffett is a more personable guy. He's frugal, has lived in the same house for the last 50ish years and outside of his jet, the "Indefensible" and the companies he acquire, he has no major spending needs. You don't hear about him and a hostile takeover.
Icahn is synonymous with corporate raids and you can tell by his interviews that he seems a bit more guarded and colder than Buffett (or I might just be hallucinating).
Regardless, I admire both of them for what they do. Both have an astounding legacy and both deserve due respect. It's just a matter of perspective and history, I think.
Buffett lives in a $70k house and wants to give all his money to charity.
Icahn is a corporate raider who doesn't care what the general public thinks of his image.
I think Icahn is a much better investor though.
I think Icahn is a capitalistic Hero.
