$151 billion Man: Steve Ballmer’s portfolio is almost entirely dependent on Microsoft’s stock

Steve Ballmer has made a bold investment decision by concentrating almost entirely on Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) stock. According to CEOWORLD magazine, over 80 percent of his portfolio is allocated to Microsoft, with the remaining portion invested in stock index funds.

As the largest individual shareholder in the company, Ballmer strategically held onto his Microsoft shares after resigning in 2014, even after being ousted. His long-term investment strategy contrasts sharply with those of early investors in companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), many of whom sold too early and missed out on substantial gains.

In addition to Microsoft, Ballmer’s investment in the Los Angeles Clippers has proven to be highly successful. He purchased the NBA team for $2 billion in 2014, and its value has since soared to $5.5 billion.

There is no denying the focus of Steve Ballmer’s investment approach. He has effectively concentrated his assets with virtually no exposure to alternative investments, demonstrating his commitment to Microsoft.

With a net worth of $151 billion, Ballmer—who served as CEO of Microsoft from 2000 to 2014—led the company through a challenging period. Although Microsoft’s stock dipped by a third during those years as competitors like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook rose, the tide turned with Satya Nadella’s leadership, transforming Microsoft into the most valuable company in the world.
