Investment Funds
During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding us) invested $310 million, $600 million and $498 million, respectively, in the Investment Funds, net of redemptions. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the total fair market value of investments in the Investment Funds made by Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding us) was approximately $5.0 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively, representing approximately 50% and 59% of the Investment Funds' assets under management as of each respective date.
We pay for expenses pertaining to the operation, administration and investment activities of our Investment segment for the benefit of the Investment Funds (including salaries, benefits and rent). Effective April 1, 2011, based on an expense-sharing arrangement, certain expenses borne by us are reimbursed by the Investment Funds. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, $12 million, $13 million and $34 million, respectively, was allocated to the Investment Funds based on this expense-sharing arrangement.
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.
As discussed in Note 4, "Investments and Related Matters," the Investment Funds have an investment in the common stock of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz") measured at fair value that would have otherwise been subject to the equity
method of accounting. Icahn Automotive provides services to Hertz in the ordinary course of business. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, revenue from Hertz was $40 million, $17 million and $3 million, respectively. Additionally, Federal-Mogul had payments to Hertz in the ordinary course of business of $1 million, $2 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Investment Funds purchased shares of a certain investment from Hertz in the amount of $36 million.
In addition to our transactions with Hertz disclosed above, in January 2018, we entered into a Master Motor Vehicle Lease and Management Agreement with Hertz, pursuant to which Hertz granted 767 Auto Leasing LLC ("767 Leasing"), a joint venture created to purchase vehicles for lease, the option to acquire certain vehicles from Hertz at rates aligned with the rates at which Hertz sells vehicles to third parties. Under this agreement, Hertz will lease the vehicles that 767 Leasing purchases from Hertz, or from third parties, under a mutually developed fleet plan and Hertz will manage, service, repair, sell and maintain those leased vehicles on behalf of 767 Leasing. Additionally, Hertz will rent the leased vehicles to transportation network company drivers from rental counters within locations leased or owned by us. This agreement has an initial term of 18 months and is subject to automatic six-month renewals thereafter, unless terminated by either party (with or without cause) prior to the start of any such six-month renewal. Our agreement with Hertz was unanimously approved by the independent directors of Icahn Enterprises' audit committee. Due to the nature of our involvement with 767 Leasing, which includes guaranteeing the payment obligations of 767 Leasing and sharing in the profits of 767 Leasing with Hertz, we determined that 767 Leasing is a variable interest entity. Furthermore, we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary as we do not have the power to direct the activities of 767 Leasing that most significantly impact its economic performance. Therefore, we do not consolidate the results of 767 Leasing. Our exposure to loss with respect to 767 Leasing is primarily limited to our direct investment in 767 Leasing as well as any payment obligations of 767 Leasing that we guarantee, which are not material at December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, 767 Leasing had assets of $60 million, primarily vehicles for lease, and liabilities of $1 million, which represents a payable to Icahn Automotive in connection with a shared services agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our Automotive segment invested $60 million in 767 Leasing. As of December 31, 2018, our Automotive segment had an equity method investment in 767 Leasing of $59 million.
American Railcar Leasing, LLC
On February 29, 2016, Icahn Enterprises entered into a contribution agreement with an affiliate of Mr. Icahn to acquire the remaining 25% economic interest in ARL not already owned by us. Pursuant to this contribution agreement, we contributed 685,367 newly issued depositary units of Icahn Enterprises with a fair value of $35 million to such affiliate in exchange for the remaining 25% economic interest in ARL. As a result of the transaction, we owned a 100% economic interest in ARL. This transaction was authorized by the independent committee of the board of directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises. The independent committee was advised by independent counsel and retained an independent financial advisor which rendered a fairness opinion.
