NEW YORK HowStuffWorks.com, an online how-to repository, said it has received an investment from financier Carl Icahn worth “tens of millions of dollars.”
Atlanta-based HowStuffWorks plans to use the financing to expand its 4,000 articles of product content to 100,000 and add video features, said CEO Jeff Arnold.
