About Michael Dell
Michael Dell is chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies, which formed in 2016 via Dell's $60 billion merger with computer storage giant EMC.
In late 2018 Dell Technologies returned to public markets through a complicated financial restructuring.
Dell's cloud software arm, VMware, spun off in 2021; Microchip firm Broadcom bought it in 2023 for $69 billion, 39% of which went to Dell.
Much of Dell's fortune lies in his private investment firm DFO Management, which has stakes in hotels and invests in liquid corporate credit.
In 2023, Dell gifted over $3 billion worth of cash stock to his foundation, which focuses on child poverty, and his donor-advised fund.
