Lauren delegates most of his company's day-to-day financial oversight to his only co-owner, Polo President Peter Strom, 57, who holds 10% of the stock.

Analysts estimate that Turner overpaid as much as several hundred million dollars for the moviemaking studio and its assets, especially a rich library of some 3,600 films that includes such gems as Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. In the process the Atlanta tycoon had to raise nearly $1.2 billion, mostly by issuing high- interest junk bonds, thereby pushing TBS's total debt to nearly $2 billion. He now faces a $600 million repayment that comes...
