> It turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today.
In a bizarre turn of events, he took Dell (the company) off the stock market himself making it non-publicly owned.
He's a guy worth $23.5B (says Google today).
Dell may not be very exciting, but Michael Dell is doing fine.
Even Acer (remember them) is worth almost 3x what Dell is today.
