    Generally, when we think of the richest billionaires in the world, we think of the founders of the top tech companies in the world. However, Steve Ballmer just surpassed a net worth of $100 billion meaning that he is part of the top ten richest people in the world. But, he didn’t found a massive company like Jeff Bezos nor was he an investing genius like Warren Buffett. In fact, Steve Ballmer worked a 9 to 5 throughout his entire career. He did eventually work his way up to Microsoft CEO, but this is not where he even ended up making the vast majority of his money. The vast majority of Steve’s wealth comes from a 4% stake in Microsoft that he earned way back in the early 1980s. Given that Microsoft is worth over $2 trillion today, it’s not surprising that Steve is worth over $100 billion. This video explains Steve Ballmer’s career at Microsoft and how he was able to make $100 billion working a 9 to 5 his entire life.

    A former boss of mine had been at Microsoft since the MSDos days, very early on, she sat directly across the hall from Mr. Ballmer. She told us a number of stories that Ballmer didn't just have that crazy energy level in presentations - that was every day. All day. It may seem insane to some, but his energy pushed a lot of people to do more amazing things than they otherwise might have done. I was contracting at Microsoft when Mr. Ballmer stepped down and the current CEO was announced. It was like watching part of the history of Microsoft go away - but Satya has further pushed something that might not exist without Steve - Azure and Cloud. What a wild ride!

      @@ohmygusperez if he worked for that money as you suggested, that would be the equivalent of him earning $1,500,000 per hour... But he didn't work for that money, 99.9% of it came from the capital he owned which meant that other people made the 99.9% of the money for him.

      Let me point out my logic here.
      How he became rich = the worth of Microsoft stocks
      How he got the Microsoft stocks = part of his contract in exchange for the work he did at the 9-5
      The question isn't really on how the stocks appreciated in price but on how he acquired it. If he didn't take the contract and didn't work the 9-5, he wouldn't have gotten the stocks.
      The logic is similar to your 401k. The value is higher if it appreciates in price but you couldn't say that you did not work the 9-5 to get it.

      @@ohmygusperez that's fair logic and you have a point. I just take issue with the notion that any human being can "earn" that absurd amount of money by "working". I get what you're saying, but that $100B is so far removed from the actual work he actually put in.

    I fail to understand why people vilify "9-5" jobs.

      I'm not trying to vilify 9 to 5 jobs, I just find it fascinating that Steve was able to accumulate so much wealth without founding a company or being an investing genius like Warren Buffett.
