Do not require Senate confirmation. Carl Icahn

Carl Icahn
Special Adviser on Regulatory Reform
Appointed


Icahn, 80, founder of Icahn enterprises. Forbes estimates his net worth at $17.6bn. Like Trump, a Queens boy made good. Staunchly anti-regulation. Made a fortune as an “activist investor” using minority stakes in companies to do battle with corporate boards in order to wring out short-term profits. Said to advise Trump closely in his pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, which Icahn has criticized, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The billionaire investor and famed “corporate raider” will oversee Mr. Trump's promised effort to unwind as many regulations on business as he can.
