Former IMS Health CEO Louis-Dreyfus Dies (mrweb)
Twenty years ago Louis-Dreyfus sold IMS to D&B for $1.7 billion(D&B spun it off a few years later) and today it has a market value of $2.2 biliion, though you have to factor in that today it has long-term debt of $1.3 million and D&B did sell off some small assets after the acquisition.
Probably the only reason IMS Health is headquartered in Connecticut rather than Plymouth Meeting where most of its US operations are based is that D&B was formerly headquartered in Connecticut when they owned IMS.
