After "The Power of 2", I will continue with presenting 15 of the American's richest personalities in the field of technology by Forbes.com last March 5 (by company, global rank, name, age and worth in US $ billion):
- Microsoft. 3 - William Gates III, 52, 58.0
- Microsoft. 41 - Paul Allen, 55, 16.0
- Microsoft. 43 - Steve Ballmer, 52, 15.0
- Oracle. 14 - Larry Ellison, 63, 25.0
- Google. 32 - Sergey Brin, 34, 18.7
- Google. 33 - Larry Page, 35, 18.6
- Google. 142 - Eric Schmidt, 52, 6.6
- Dell. 40 - Michael Dell, 43, 16.4
- Ebay. 120 - Pierre Omidyar, 40, 7.7
- Apple. 189 - Steve Jobs, 53, 5.4
- Intel. 288 - Gordon Moore, 79, 3.7
- Yahoo. 462 - David Filo, 41, 2.5
- Yahoo. 524 - Jerry Yang, 39, 2.3
- Siebel Systems. 652 - Thomas Siebel, 55, 1.9
- Facebook. 785 - Mark Zuckerberg, 23, 1.5
It's worth to note that the youngest in the Billionaire's Club now is the 23-year old Mark Zuckerberg who founded Facebook.com.
Another interesting fact is that all of them are self-made.
Other things that we can learn from them:
- 7 are more than 50 years of age
- 7 have more than US $ 10 billion in worth
- 7 are in the top 100 richest people
- 3 companies have 2 or more billionaires
How I wish we will have a Filipino company who will make it in the list...
