Yeah, imagine waking up every day of the year and receiving a 'daily dividend' of approx 2.8 million dollars. Most Americans don't earn that in a lifetime of work. Steve Ballmer receives over $1 billion in annual dividends from Microsoft due to his large share ownership. He holds a significant stake in the company, which has consistently increased its dividend payments, leading to an annual dividend income for him that is projected to exceed $1 billion. This income is a direct result of his ownership of approximately 4% of Microsoft stock, which has become the overwhelmingly dominant part of his investment portfolio. Annual Dividend Income: Ballmer's annual dividend payment is over $1 billion. Share Ownership: He owns approximately 333.2 million shares of Microsoft, which is about a 4% stake.
