Michael Dell – The Name Behind Dell Computers

Dell was born on February, 23, 1965 to a family that used to practice Judaism and extended efforts to spread it. He is born of a orthodontist father and a stockbroker.He is a known American multibillionaire who founded Dell, Inc. and is currently leading it as CEO. He recevied his early eaducation at Herod Elementary School in Houston Texas and sought admission in Memorial High School but did not happen to be fortunate enough to continue his study; and during his tender age he broke off Apple II just to serve his curiosity if he could rebuild it again and he did it wonderfully.

He started his career by selling off prescriptions for the Houston Post and amassed $ 18,000 that afforded him a car and three finest computer machines. He is an unbeatable philanthropist and has granted University of Texas at Austin $50 million,in 2006, to introduce reforms in childern’s health and introduce reforms in education system under the banner of Michael and Susan Dell Foundation. The two chief projects are envisaged the first being Dell Pediatric Research Institute and the second Dell Computer Science Hall and the third in the row is The Michael and Susan Dell Center for Advancement of Healthy Living that deals with problems of children.

Dell was honored Honorary Doctorate in Economic Science by University of Limerick, Ireland, in 2002, following his paramount investment Ireland for local community development and education improvement sector.

Susan and Michael Dell were considered one of the top 53 donators ($250000 to George Bush as the legal donation during the second inauguration of his presidential tenure.

Dell inaugurated his firm to raise capital to be invested in various small companies to raise their morale with the name MSD Capital LP and the firm is continuously investing in various companies.

Dell had encountered several time in war of words with CEO of Apple, Inc, Steve Jobs. It was fliped by Jobs whose criticism was aimed at Dell products such as “Un-innovative beige boxes”. Contrastingly, when Dell was asked about owning stuck-in-troubles Apple.Inc he remarked “ I would shut it down and give the money back to shareholders”.

However, Michael Dell has lived a dreamed life. He rules the world with his renovated and innovated Dell.Inc. His wife Susan has been providing him comfort and peace of mind. On the other hand, he has not built his empire in a day. It took his life and is triumph of his sublime efforts.

Wow, I haven't heard much about Michael Dell before. Thanks for that.
