Billionaire Michael Dell gifted $350 million worth of Dell Technologies stock

Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, recently gave about $350 million worth of Dell stock into two of his charitable vehicles. It was his first donation of Dell shares since 2006, and his biggest gift of the company’s stock ever. Dell is worth an estimated $64.4 billion.

Approximately 40% of the shares went to Dell’s private family foundation, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation; the remaining 60% was funneled into donor-advised funds established by Michael and Susan Dell. Since its founding in 1999, the Dell Foundation has disbursed at least $2.4 billion, mostly to health– and education–related causes in the United States, India and South Africa.

Currently, roughly $64.4 billion of Dell’s net worth comes from his approximately 52.39% stake in Dell (his gift was just over 1% of his Dell shareholding) and 39.2% stake in VMware. Dell is slated to receive over $20 billion in Broadcom stock and cash in exchange for his stake.
