June 1, 2017
25. Steve Ballmer, 60 – Net Worth: $27 billion
Without Steve Ballmer, modern life wouldn’t be what it is today. Ballmer, along with his buddy Bill Gates (more on him later) are the guys behind Microsoft, pioneers of modern computing and one of the most famous and influential companies of the millennia.
Ballmer became CEO of Microsoft after Gates stepped down in 2000, having previously held roles in marketing, sales and support. Since moving on from Microsoft, Steve realized one of his dreams in becoming an NBA franchise owner – you’ll find him courtside at the Staples Center watching his beloved L.A. Clippers during the season.
