The Employee That Made $72 Billion - The Story Of Steve Ballmer

Lock In 7% With Government Bonds:

Usually, billionaires get their wealth by growing massive international corporations and/or investing for decades. As a result, we wouldn't expect an employee who starts out making $50,000 per year to become a billionaire, but that's exactly what happened to Steve Ballmer. Steve Ballmer joined Microsoft in 1980 and received an 8% stake in Microsoft soon after, and this alone would eventually make him into a multi-billionaire. However, the vast majority of his wealth was made in the past few years after he retired as the new Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, was able to quintuple Microsoft's stock price skyrocketing Steve Ballmer to 70 billion dollars. This video explains the story of Steve Ballmer and how Steve Ballmer got so rich.

Good writing. I think Steve was more than at the right place at the right time though! He was the only one that could sell at an extremely nerdy company

Ballmer was CEO in 2010 when Office 365 went GA and in 2010 when Azure went GA, so you can say Satya walked into a goldmine.

ok thats actually quite weird to wrap your head around.
like this man is now a billionaire because like 40 years ago he join this nobody company named microsoft and the owner like him so he give him 8% of the stock. and then the company become big and those 4% that he still owned is worth 72 bil.

Steve might look like a stupid person because he made fun of iphone. He made mistakes. But he was educated and wise for most part who made major contributions to Microsoft.

Hey, nice video! Can you maybe try to get a bit further away from your mic next video? Your sound quality isn't nearly as good as the information and entertainment you provide in your videos.
