New York, Aug. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Dell Computer Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Michael S. Dell is increasingly putting his own money into a stream of Internet and electronic- commerce startups, the Wall Street Journal interactive edition reported, without citing sources. Michael Dell's MSD Capital LP, a personal-investment firm formed last year, has quickly become one of the top investors in e-commerce and Internet start-ups, backed by an estimated $1 billion his personal fortune, the Journal said. MSD Capital is buying stakes in companies aiming to transform industries as varied as automobiles and consumer marketing into online businesses, according to a review of public filings and interviews with venture-capital groups, the newspaper said. Dell Computer shares Aug. 18 surged 8.4 percent after the world's largest direct seller of personal computers said fiscal second-quarter profit increased 47 percent.
