Businessman and philanthropist Steve Ballmer, 63, is perhaps best known for his stint as CEO of the Microsoft Corporation, which lasted from 2000 to 2014. Currently he owns the NBA team Los Angeles Clippers. Ballmer is also known for his extremely exuberant style (which some would say is over the top and crazed). He’s reported to have $51 billion, making him the 16th richest person in the world.
Quote: “The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn’t think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.”
