Steven Anthony Ballmer (born March 24, 1956) is an American businessman and investor who served as the chief executive officer of Microsoft from January 13, 2000, to February 4, 2014, and is the current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Bill Gates' personal wealth is estimated at US $51.9 billion as of October 2019, making him the 16th richest person in the world.
He became president in 1998 and replaced Gates as CEO in 2000.
Ballmer resigned from the Board of Directors on February 4, 2014 to prepare for teaching a new class.
He became the Clippers' owner on August 12, 2014; Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen was a fellow NBA owner who had owned the Portland Trail Blazers since 1988. His tenure as the CEO of Microsoft was tumultuous, with the company ramping up sales and doubling of profits, but the company was also missing out on 21st-century technology trends.
During his tenure as America's worst CEO, he was widely chastised.
Early life and education
Ballmer was born in Detroit, Michigan; he is the son of Beatrice Dvorkin and Frederic Henry (Fritz Hans) Ballmer, a Ford Motor Company manager. Frederic, a Swiss immigrant, came from Zuchwil, Switzerland, and settled in the United States in 1948. Steve's mother was the niece of Shmuel Dvorkin, a Russian Jew who immigrated to the United States in 1914 and became a glass retailer. Ballmer is the second cousin of actress and comedian Gilda Radner, according to his mother. Ballmer grew up in Farmington Hills, Michigan,'s wealthy neighborhood.

He took college prep and engineering classes at Lawrence Technological University in 1973. He graduated as a National Merit Scholar from Detroit Country Day School, a private college preparatory school in Beverly Hills, Michigan, with a score of 800 on the SAT's numerical section.

Ballmer, a student at Harvard University and a former quarterback for Harvard Crimson Football team and a fan of the Fox Club, also served on The Harvard Crimson newspaper and the Harvard Advocate, and lived in the hall with fellow sophomore Bill Gates.

In 1977, he received a Bachelor of Arts in applied mathematics and economics.
