During World War II, Kirk was a daredevil pilot who flew for the Royal Air Force. He delivered supplies over the Atlantic on routes that would crash one out of every four planes. After the war, having saved most of his wages, Kerkorian spent $5,000 on a Cessna.

In 1969, he bought a controlling stake in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio, and he went on to open the original MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (now Bally’s Las Vegas) in 1973. The MGM Grand Reno, followed in 1978. Over the years, MGM has grown to become the second largest gaming company in the world by revenue. However, Kerkorian stepped down as its chairman in 2011 and became the first director emeritus.
