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.

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.
