It looks like a big chunk of his networth is included in the spin-off company of VMWare, which was acquired by Broadcom in exchange for 22M Broadcom shares. Broadcom has seen a boom in its own stock price and now enjoys a $1T market cap.

Repurchased and eliminated 5.6 million shares for $3,420 million

Stock buybacks are a hell of a drug.

He's actually "worth" negative value because of his wealth hoarding

Ahhh damn, large company. Otherwise if you found a company that goes out of business and then personally recover financially to a positive net worth you can be like Michael Dell!

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
