The life story of Michael Dell serves as an example of a dream come true, especially when combined with insight and perseverance. Born in Houston, the young man enrolled at the University of Texas in 1983 to become a doctor, but soon he became distracted from his studies to immerse himself in selling used computers to support himself. He then founded a small project with a capital of less than a thousand dollars to sell personal computers and enhanced components to clients directly on campus. It wasn't long before that young man became a phenomenon. This led him to found one of today's technology giants, valued at over $82 billion. However, after years of glory, the company faced a desperate crisis, sales declined, and an accounting scandal made headlines. Michael stepped down as CEO, but his heart still burned with passion, leading him to return after 3 years not just to restore the company, but to redefine it. In a bold move in 2013, Michael decided to take his company private in a deal valued at $24 billion, defying all expectations. It wasn't just about numbers; it was a declaration that Michael Dell doesn't know the word 'impossible'. Today, the man who started from a dorm room stands at the head of a technology empire with a fortune exceeding $150 billion, while continuing through his foundation to improve the lives of millions of children worldwide. Michael Dell's fortune is distributed between his stake in the computer company 'Dell' valued at $37 billion, as well as a stake in 'Broadcom', which forms the largest part of his wealth at $70 billion, plus liquid cash representing dividend income. In 1988, he took his company public, becoming a billionaire before reaching the age of 30. Two years later, he shocked the world with a $67 billion acquisition of 'EMC', which was ranked as the largest deal in the history of the technology sector.
