Ross Perot, who shook up 90s U.S. presidential politics, dies at 89
H. Ross Perot, the feisty Texas technology billionaire who rattled U.S. politics with two independent presidential campaigns in the 1990s that struck a chord with disgruntled voters, died on Tuesday at the age of 89, his family says.
"Ross Perot, the ground-breaking businessman and loving husband, brother, father and grandfather, passed away early Tuesday at his home in Dallas, surrounded by his devoted family," the Perot family says in a statement.
Perot's fortune was estimated at $4.1 billion by Forbes magazine in April 2019.
