served as the chief executive officer of Microsoft from 2000 to 2014. He is the current owner of

the Los Angeles Clippers of

the National Basketball Association (NBA). As of July 2021, Bloomberg Billionaires

Index estimates his personal wealth at $100.5 billion, ranking

him as the 9th richest person in the world. Ballmer

was hired by Bill Gates at

Microsoft in 1980, and subsequently left the MBA program at Stanford University. He

eventually became president in 1998, and replaced Gates as CEO on January 13,

2000. On February 4, 2014, Ballmer retired as CEO and was replaced by Satya

Nadella; Ballmer remained on Microsoft's Board of Directors until

August 19, 2014, when he left to prepare for teaching a new class. His tenure and legacy as Microsoft CEO has

received mixed reception, with the company tripling sales and doubling profits,

but losing its market dominance and missing out on 21st-century technology trends such as the ascendance

of smartphones in the form of iPhone and Android. Ballmer was born

in Detroit, Michigan; he is the son of Beatrice Dworkin and

Frederic Henry Ballmer (Fritz Hans Ballmer), a manager at the Ford Motor Company. His

father was a Swiss immigrant who predicted that his son, at eight years old,

would attend Harvard. His mother was Belarusian Jewish. Through

his mother, Ballmer is a second cousin of actress and comedian Gilda Radner. Ballmer grew up in the affluent community

of Farmington Hills, Michigan. Ballmer also lived in Brussels from 1964 to 1967,

where he attended the International School of Brussels. In 1973,

he attended college prep and engineering classes at Lawrence Technological

University. He graduated as valedictorian from Detroit Country Day School,

a private college preparatory school in Beverly Hills, Michigan, with a score of 800 on the mathematical section of

the SAT and was a National Merit Scholar. He

now sits on the school's board of directors. In

1977, he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a Bachelor of Arts in applied mathematics and

economics. At college, Ballmer was a manager for the Harvard Crimson football team

and a member of the Fox Club, worked on The Harvard Crimson newspaper

as well as the Harvard Advocate, and

lived down the hall from fellow sophomore Bill Gates. He scored highly in the William

Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, an exam sponsored of America, scoring higher than Bill Gates.[21] He then worked as an assistant product manager

at Procter & Gamble for

two years, where he shared an office with Jeff Immelt, who later became CEO of General Electric. After briefly trying to write

screenplays in Hollywood, in 1980 Ballmer dropped out of the Stanford Graduate School of Business to join Microsoft. Ballmer

joined Microsoft on June 11, 1980, and became Microsoft's 30th

employee, the first business manager hired by Gates. Ballmer

was offered a salary of $50,000 as well as 5-10% of the company When

Microsoft was incorporated in 1981, Ballmer owned 8% of the company. In 2003,

Ballmer sold 39.3 million Microsoft shares equating to approximately $955

million, thereby reducing his ownership to 4%. The same year, he stock options program.

In the 20 years following his hire, Ballmer headed several Microsoft

divisions, including operations, operating systems development, and sales and

support. From February 1992 onwards, he was Executive Vice President, Sales,

and Support. Ballmer led Microsoft's development of the .NET Framework. Ballmer was then promoted to President of

Microsoft, a title that he held from July 1998 to February 2001, making him the

de facto number two in the company to the chairman and CEO, Bill Gates.
