After the billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates, certainly the other visible face of Microsoft is the company’s chief executive, Steve Ballmer , who on this day is amazing news for the decision taken to sell much of its stock shares in Microsoft . Ballmer held a sale of shares by 1.3 billion dollars, which consisted of the sale of 49.3 million shares at a price of 26 and 28 dollars per share. This is the first move of its kind Ballmer made ??in seven years and still has 359 million shares, which are worth about 9.6 billion dollars at the current price per share of the company. Ballmer said it remains fully committed to Microsoft . Although this is a financial problem of a personal nature, I want to clarify this to avoid any confusion. The share sale is due to their interest to diversify their investments, and even plans to sell 75 million shares before the end of the year, so this is nothing more than a beginning.
