Bill Gates’ former assistant at Microsoft is now the fifth-richest person in the world, per Bloomberg’s tally, and only one spot behind Gates on the real-time list of the world’s richest people.Steve Ballmer, who joined Microsoft as its 24th-ever employee in 1980, has seen his wealth balloon over the past year to reach some $117 billion, per Bloomberg’s data on Tuesday. This figure is only some $5 billion shy of Gates’ estimated net worth of $122 billion. .
Ballmer is unique among the top-10 cohort in being the only non-founder of a major business empire.Ballmer attended Harvard University, where he met Gates. While Gates dropped out to start Microsoft, Ballmer graduated in 1977 with degrees in applied mathematics and economics. Ballmer began his career at Microsoft as an assistant to the president some four decades ago, though his role at the time was more of a business manager for the fast-growing software maker.
