Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter beat out fellow billionaire Carl Icahn for control of bankrupt comic book firm Marvel in 1998.
He revived the company's stock by producing action-hero movies like 'Spiderman,' 'Daredevil,' 'Hulk' and 'Iron Man.'
In 2009, he sold a majority of Marvel to Disney for $4 billion in cash and stock; he served as chairman until Disney laid him off in 2023.
He cashed out his 25.6 million Disney shares in 2024 for some $2.9 billion (pretax).
Perlmutter immigrated to the U.S. from Israel with just $250 in 1967 and sold toys on the streets of Brooklyn, where he was introduced to Marvel.
He and his wife have donated over $50 million to cancer research at NYU Langone Medical Center.
Perlmutter is a veteran of the Six-Day War in 1967 between Israel and neighboring states Egypt, Jordan and Syria.
The reclusive billionaire is rarely spotted in public and reportedly went to the 2008 premiere of the movie 'Iron Man' disguised in glasses and a mustache.
