While Berkshire's annual meeting will be celebrated with huge fanfare, what will happen at Icahn Enterprises (IEP 1.01%)? Carl Icahn's empire greatly outperformed Berkshire this past year. Icahn Enterprises shares increased 158% in 2013, compared to Berkshire's 33%. In fact, Icahn Enterprises' share price has outperformed Berkshire's over the past 10-year, five-year and one-year time frames. Are investors missing the boat here and which financial rock star is worth your money over the long term?
