Biography

Michael Saul Dell (born February 23, 1965) is an American billionaire, businessman, investor and philanthropist. He is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Dell Technologies, one of the world's largest technology infrastructure companies, of which he owns a 40% stake in 2026.

In May 2026, he became a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. That September, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index listed him as the 5th wealthiest person in the world, with a net worth of about $245 billion (USD), while Forbes estimates his net worth at $258.4 billion.

As of October 2023, according to Forbes, his net worth was derived from his 50% stake in Dell and 40% stake in VMware, with the rest being held by his family office DFO Management. In January 2013, it was announced that he had bid to take Dell Inc. private for $24.4 billion in the biggest management buyout since the Great Recession. Dell Inc. officially went private in October 2013. The company went public again in December 2018.
