He is the founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, which became one of the world’s largest technology infrastructure companies. It was formed in 2016 when Dell merged with computer storage giant EMC. The $60 billion merger was the largest technology acquisition ever. Most of Dell’s fortune lies in his private investment firm, MSD Capital, which has stakes in hotels and restaurants. He has committed more than $1.5 billion to charities, focusing on child poverty. Dell got his start at 19, selling computers out of his University of Texas dorm room. He earned more than $80,000 by the end of his freshman year. He resides in Austin, Texas.
