There are more than a thousand
billionaires in the world. What looks interesting are the geek
billionaires. They were swift in accumulating a huge amount of wealth
because of their technology business. The interesting thing is that
these billionaires do dress in their own way. They have their own style
in very small things. What we have seen that even having such huge
wealth these guys love to be in a simple get up.
To
become a billionaire the basic factor is to build up a successful
business. These geeks have not only created a behemoth business but
their businesses are growing rapidly. Let us checkout in which way these
guys get dressed up. They are not the people who copy some other
person`s style. They have their own style
and they don`t flaunt their get up. You may have seen some millionaires
who flaunt their wealth through their get ups. But these geek
billionaires don`t care much or do they really care about their get up?
Lets
see how each and every tech geek billionaire is dressed according to
his comfort. You can see a lot of varieties in their dressing style
between each and every tech billionaire.
Bill Gates
Lets
start with the wealthiest tech geek of the world. Its still none other
than Bill Gates. He is one of the pioneer in Software Business. Bill
Gates founded Microsoft and his main wealth comes from his company. Bill
Gates likes to wear Formal Shirts and trousers. Formal shirts are used
in a peculiar way by Mr. Gates. He likes to tuck in the tip of collar
buttons on the shirt. This is a very unique style and many people don`t
do that.
So
shall all the geek entrepreneurs start opting for this style? The
answer may depend on the comfort level of the individuals. Even the
colors he uses for his formal shirts are mainly light colored. He likes
to use plain shirts without any design on it. It is Mr. Gates style. One
of the most talked aspects of his get up is his sweater.
Whichever
sweater he wears, catches up media attention. He loves to wear a
V-shaped full sleeved sweater along with the formal shirt inside which
is again in similar fashion, in which the collar tip buttons are tucked
in to the shirt. He likes to wear formal trousers. Most of the colors he
likes are light colored. But in business conferences he does come in
proper professional getup in blazer. So these are the two major styles
of Mr. Gates.
Bill Gates net worth is $67 B.
Larry Ellison
Oracle`s
founder Larry Ellison is a pioneer of Database. Let it be any kind of
database his company handles it the best. He likes to wear a black
T-shirt and a blazer over it. He has been seen in this get up in many of
his presentations. He likes to have a round neck T-shirt which he uses
during the presentations. Might be the Air Conditioners from which Mr.
Ellison wants to stay away from the coldness.
Larry
Ellison seems to be fit and fine. He is seen showcasing his muscles
without any intentions. Checkout the picture in which Larry Ellison is
seen in his yacht which is getting sailed. He has a hobby of sailing in
the waters. His look in this picture makes him look fit. He is seen in
the half sleeves shirt and a sleeveless Jacket.
Larry Ellison`s net worth is $43 B.
Larry Page
After
one Larry here comes another Larry which is one of the top 10
billionaires of the world and one of the quicker getting a billion than
the Microsoft or Oracle. He needs no introduction, he is the Co-founder
of Google. Larry is a geek by knowledge. He with his co-founder created a
company which is now the favorite of any internet user. Even people
checkout Google.com for checking whether their internet connection is
properly working or not. Aged 40 he seems to be enjoying in the T-shirt.
He takes a lot of care about the colors while dressing up.
At
office he likes to be in a plain half sleeved t-shirt mainly of light
colored. He also seems to have simple dressing style using a T-shirt and
jeans similar to a college going student. His love for Diet Coke can be
seen in this picture. I guess he must be wandering in his office with
the new Google Glasses.
You
can checkout the pic in which he makes sure that he has the Microphone
of the same color as that of his T-shirt. The regulation might be there
where in every presentation he makes sure that the color of the
microphone and his T-shirt matches. He likes to wear a blazer over the
T-shirt which makes him look cool. So Larry Uncle is very much
interested in making sure that colors of his T-shirt are matching to the
surroundings.
Sergey Brin
One
of the folks who created Google is Mr. Sergey Brin. He is the
Co-founder of Google Inc. Google has been revolutionizing in a lot of
things and Sergey is the person who is making all the revolutionary
changes with his partner Larry. Sergey Brin is the fittest among the
two. He likes to be in a half sleeve round neck T-shirt and Jeans.
Sergey
is a smart person and I must say the fittest geek in this list. He must
be working out a lot. He is seen in his office in T-shirt and Jeans
outfit. But in earlier days the founders of Google were seen in Formal
Shirts and trousers. They must be knowing that they can be professional
without the attire of the person. This is a huge take from the founders
of Google to attain any attire as per the comfort level of the person.
Sergey Brin has a net worth of $22.8 B.
Steve Jobs
One
of the most respected technology innovators is no more. But he is still
in our heart. He cannot be forgotten by any means. His company Apple
has been able to create a lot of technology creations from desktop
computers to the ipads. His innovations became a trend in the whole
world. Steve Jobs have never compromised on the quality of Apple`s
products, regardless of the price in which they are sold.
In
the very early days of Apple steve jobs loved to be in formal shirts
and trousers. He was presentable during exhibitions. He made sure that
he was getting the perfect professional look while launching the
products in the early days.
Lately he
used the full sleeve round T-shirts and preferred dark colors like
black most often. He was not fashion trendy, but he did make sure that
he had the latest and best quality spects. He always had a geeky look
and if you wanted to rate any one with the perfect geeky look, Steve
Jobs was natural to be the best among all. I respect him & his work a
lot.
His net worth in 2010 was $8.3 B.
Michael Dell
People
invented software companies but this person created computers. Dell is a
company named by the surname of its founder Michael Dell. He is a
pioneer in creating computer hardware and peripherals. Dell is a reputed
company and one of the best option after Apple in buying computers, for
any consumer. He has a decent dressing style. He always likes to be in
the traditional professional getup.
The
traditional professional get up includes the Full sleeves shirt, a tie
& a Black Blazer with formal trousers. Michael Dell is a drop out
from college and had bought a Porche from his earned money in college
days. His compassion for Business seems to be great, as still the
quality of the products is good. He has no other dressing style, he
loves to be in the professional get up as a proper businessman.
Michael Dell has a net worth of $15.3 B.
Steve Ballmer
He
was an important part of the team which founded Microsoft. After Bill
Gates resigning from the CEO post of Microsoft there was no other option
than to make Steve Ballmer
the CEO. Steve Ballmer has a very funny way of expressing things. He
cannot control the emotions, mainly during the launch of Windows
products. He is a fun loving guy which always likes to keep the
surroundings lighthearted.
Steve
Ballmer has formal dressing sense and loves to be in formal shirts and
trousers. In the product launches and on the eve of any presentation, he
comes in the professional attire with tie & a blazer on his formal
full sleeve shirt and trouser. It is my observation that Steve Ballmer
likes the Navy Blue colored formal shirts a lot. He is seen in the blue
formal shirts many times.
Steve Ballmer has a net worth of $15.2 B
Mark Zuckerberg
He
is a source of inspiration for youth. He is the founder of Facebook.
The social Network for which the youth spend their most of the time. He
has a very unique way of dressing. The best part is that he still
perceives the same dressing style after so many years after founding the
company. Mark Zuckerberg always catches attention of the media in his
most popular attire.
He
likes to be in a grey half sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans. The best
part is the Adidas Sandals which he uses wherever he goes. The love of
Mark Zuckerberg for his Adidas Sandals is very famous. He likes to wear
it because it gives him utter comfort. Right from the day when he
invented facebook, Mark Zuckerberg used these sandals.
He
attends any kind of presentation in this attire only. Even he attends
his lawsuits with this attire. Though the time of attending law suits
has gone, as everything is settled by Zuckerberg. I would rate Mark
Zuckerberg as the most stylish dressed billionaires.
His net worth is $13.3 B
Pierre Omidyar
The
founder of eBay. He is a person who made e-commerce a smoking hot
business. His ideologies and innovations on eBay has made his company
one of the best e-commerce portals in the world. The revenues of eBay
has been increasing a lot. Pierre likes to be in a simple attire of
formal shirts and trousers.
He
does look geek because of his frame-less spects. He loves to have any
designs on his formal shirt and has mixed choices between the full
sleeved formal shirts. He goes to his company`s office in this look.
This is a very common look and you may get surprised when you see than
some of the employees are dressed professionally by using blazers.
Pierre likes to be simple.
His net worth is $8.7 B
Eric Schmidt
He
is the executive chairman of Google. He has contributed a lot in
Google`s success. He loves to look professional as always as he can. He
is in his professional look with formal shirt and trousers with red tie
and Black Blazer. His spects are full framed and look old fashion
though. He is a complete package of geekness.
Though
he might not be one who cares about fashion a lot, as he wore a yellow
tie on a white formal shirt which looks crappy. The best part is that
these billionaires don`t care more about what they wear, they care about
what they do.
His net worth is $8.2 B
Robin Li
He
is the founder of Baidu. It is a search engine which is famous in
China. It is used more than google in China. Baidu offers search in the
Chineese language which gives chineese people a comfort zone. It is
popular as Google of China. As it takes a prominent market share, Robin
Li seems to have made the right solution for the Chinese people.
He
likes to be in formal attire. He prefers light plain colored formal
shirts and dark colored trousers. He does have a knack of folding the
sleeves of the shirt upto the elbow. This is very unique among the geeky
billionaires and also something different than creating a Google for
China. His company is appreciated a lot in China and also has entered
NASDAQ.
His net worth is $6.9 B
Jay.Y. Lee
After
a Chineese person there comes a dynamic businessman from South Korea.
He is the Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics and son of the founder of
Samsung. He is in buzz around after making some great product launches
by Samsung. The smartphone S series from Samsung is one of the creative
ideas by Jay.
He
likes to suit up during the conferences, else he likes to be in the
above attire. The red jacket suits on the light colored formal shirt. He
always likes to use the phones manufactured by his company. Many people
use Samsung Smartphones but don`t know the person who own the company.
He has set the vision behind all the new upcoming gadgets of Samsung.

Dustin Moskovitz
The
co-founder of Facebook has made a lot of wealth by selling off the
shares. He has now started his new venture Asana. He had played a
pivotal role in leveraging success of Facebook. He is 8 days younger
than Mark Zuckerberg and hence he is renowned as the youngest
billionaire.
Youngest
billionaire(Born on May 22,1984) though has been a billionaire because
of the success of facebook. He likes to be in formal full sleeves dark
colored shirts and blue jeans. He is a role model for any entrepreneur
who is thinking of becoming a billionaire in less span of time.
His net worth is $3.8 B
Jack Ma
Another
Chinese into this league of geeky billionaires. He is the founder and
chairman of Ali Baba Group. Just for the information to our viewers that
Ali Baba is not the story or something like “Ali Baba and forty
Thieves”. It is a group of e-commerce portals in china which accounted a
total sales for two of it portal a behemoth $170 B in 2012. It has B2B
and C2C and various e-commerce portals. I must say that he is doing
fantastic work of e-commerce in China.
He
likes to get dressed by formal shirts and trousers and a round neck
sweater in winter. In America, Bill Gates prefer to wear a V neck shaped
sweater. Whereas in China, Jack Ma likes to wear the traditional round
faced bright colored sweater. He is on the apex of performance and
majority market share in e-commerce of China. Yet we got to see whether
he expands his empire to south asian countries or not.
His net worth is $3.4 B
Reid Hoffman
He
is the founder of LinkedIn. The most lovable networking website for any
professional. I hope that Reid Hoffman will surely climb up this list
soon as the LinkedIn network is growing at a rapid pace. With due
respect this person has shown that physically unfit guys can also be a
geeky billionaire. So with huge applause and recognition we would like
to praise this person a lot for creating a successful professional
network in the era of social network like facebook.
He
likes to be in a collared half sleeves T-shirt. It makes him
comfortable in his office. Though for any conferences he comes in his
professional get up. He likes to use dark colored T-shirts. He thinks
that whatever gives you comfort you should be in that get up.
His net worth is $3.1 B.
Elon Musk
Who
said that a geek billionaire should be from a software company or
online company? Elon Musk makes him the unique person with utter
geekness and talent into this list. He is the founder of SpaceX, Tesla Motors & co-founder of Paypal. He manages his businesses with great care and affection for them.
He
likes to be in Black round collared T-shirt and blue jeans. While going
to the conference, just a brown or light colored blazer goes up on the
T-shirt. These guys save a lot of time in changing clothes too. They
want to be as productive as possible. He is physically fit and it seems
to be the mantra for being a billionaire.
He has a net worth of $2.7B
Eric Lefkofsky
He
is the founder of Groupon. He is the co-founder of various other
businesses. Groupon is a company which provides attractive discounts on
various brands and services and the best in couponing business. All of
his businesses are doing great and thus providing himself a healthy cash
flow.
He
likes to get into formal light colored full sleeve shirts and dark
colored trousers. He likes to fold the sleeves upto his elbow. He uses a
V-neck shaped dark colored sweater and is one of the unique style among
all the geeky billionaires. He is an idealistic person and follows his
ideas and work to make them happen in real world.
There
are 1426 billionaires all over the world. This number is going to be
increasing as the number of businesses are increasing rapidly. We made a
point in choosing the right geeky billionaires from this list. We chose
billionaires who are geeks and successful. I think that all these
people are an inspiration for all of us.
I
have got to know that doing a normal job in a company will no where
lead you to become a billionaire. There is no billionaire who did job
and became rich.
To become a billionaire there is only one hot tip. It is to build a
successful business and as the business grows, your cash flow and net
worth grows.
These billionaires do
dress simple. Their dressing is surely affordable to most of us. They
don`t focus much on their dressing style or get up but they focus on
their businesses. I did found out that these billionaires some what have
created a trend in dressing among the SMEs and startup ecosystem. We
saw that they like to be dressed simple yet look charming as the glow of
success is surely seen on their face.
I
hope that you will try out these dressing styles of billionaires. Dress
like a Mark Zuckerberg or like Larry Page, it will be fun. Who knows
that you may create another great company and become a billionare and
join this list!
