Business tycoon Kirk Kerkorian -- the billionaire behind Las Vegas casinos, Hollywood's MGM Studio, and Chrysler ... has died at the age of 98. Kerkorian died in Los Angeles on Monday after a brief illness.
He's most famous for making Vegas what it is today -- as the founder of MGM Resorts his company went on to purchase more than half of the rooms on the Strip by swallowing up competitors like Mirage Resorts and Mandalay Resorts.
A major notch in his belt -- he's responsible for luring Elvis Presley and Barbra Streisand to perform in Vegas.
Kerkorian bought and sold MGM Studios multiple times. He made major bank off his purchase of the James Bond franchise, and merging United Artists with MGM.
He's also famous for his 2001 divorce from his wife of one month, Lisa Bonder. She wanted $320,000 a month in alimony and child support. He eventually paid her $10 million plus $100k/month in child support ... even though he turned out to not be the father!
Kerkorian's latest net worth was $4.2 billion. He has 2 grown daughters, and he reportedly married his longtime on/off GF Una Davis last year.

Ex-MGM mogul Kirk Kerkorian just scored a knockout punch against his ex-wife Lisa Bonder ... a judge just shut down her request to up monthly child support from $100K to $565K.
It's a spectacular defeat for Bonder, who claimed their 16-year-old daughter Kira needed $491,000 a month just for equestrian expenses. Kira is an accomplished rider who has Olympic aspirations, but apparently the judge found Bonder's request ridiculous.
The judge felt Bonder could make do with $100,000 a month ... which by the way is the largest child support award on record in the U.S.
The judge scoffed at Bonder's request in his written ruling -- obtained by TMZ -- saying, "There is a difference between the 'needs' of a child and the 'wants' of a child."
Here's what's really amazing. Kerkorian and Bonder were married a grand total of 28 days back in 1999 and the child isn't even his ... when he agreed to pay support he didn't know Kira wasn't his biological child.
Kerkorian, who was repped by attorneys Judy Bogen and Joe Mannis, will continue to pay $100K a month.
FROM OCTOBER 2010:

LOS ANGELES — Billionaire Kirk Kerkorian has agreed to pay more than $10 million in back child support plus $100,000 a month for a child his ex-wife has admitted is not his biological daughter.
Lisa Bonder Kerkorian, who was married briefly to the casino mogul after a long relationship, acknowledged during a child support battle that she had faked a DNA paternity test by using saliva she obtained from Kerkorian's adult daughter. She said the biological father actually was Hollywood movie producer Stephen Bing.
Michael Trope, the attorney for Bonder Kerkorian, filed the settlement Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Kira Kerkorian is now 12, and court papers have said that she has known for quite some time that she has "two papas." Kerkorian, 93, has had joint custody of the girl, who lives with her mother.
The settlement, which provides $100,000 a month until Kira turns 19 or until she graduates from high school, no longer is a full-time student or no longer is living with her mother full time. After that, the settlement says, the child support will be reduced to $50,000 a month.
The agreement also provides for Kerkorian to pay expenses including school costs, equestrian expense, clothing, housing, travel, hobbies, automobile, food, beauty treatments, tutoring, entertainment, parties and pets.
Bonder Kerkorian, 45, a former tennis pro, was married to Kerkorian for 28 days in 1999. They had been romantically linked for years. Kerkorian, once the majority shareholder of what is now MGM Resorts International, is the legal father of the child because the couple married.
The legal battle between Kerkorian and his ex-wife has gone on since 2002. Bonder Kerkorian originally sought $320,000 a month in alimony and child support. The agreement includes no alimony.
The contentious litigation between the couple became the centerpiece of one of Hollywood's more bizarre court cases when a private eye was charged with wiretapping Bonder Kerkorian's phones at the behest of Kerkorian's powerful entertainment lawyer, Terry Christensen. Both men were convicted of conspiring to listen in on her private phone conversations.
Kerkorian testified he never knew anything about the wiretapping. The private investigator, Anthony Pellicano, is in prison and Christensen is out on bail pending appeal.
These crazy laws! She admits to wrongdoings in a case that he has to pay millions into!
