Michael Dell has created one of the most well-known names in the technology sector. Now he and his wife, Susan Dell, have found themselves in the spotlight after a $ 6.25 billion investment related to the «Trump Accounts» program aimed at supporting children in the U.S. With growing interest in their role in this initiative, many are also starting to take a closer look at the couple—from how they met and built their family to how their wealth grew alongside Dell Technologies.
Michael is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Dell Technologies, one of the largest technology companies in the world. He started his business in college and turned it into a global enterprise encompassing computers, cloud technologies, and business infrastructure. His wife, Susan, is a philanthropist and co-founder of the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, which supports initiatives in healthcare, education, and family welfare. Together, the couple is known for combining business leadership with extensive philanthropic efforts.
Speaking about the couple’s involvement in the «Trump Accounts» program, Michael mentioned the initiative at a White House event on December 2, 2025, stating, «When I started the company 41 years ago, we created a direct model. This is kind of philanthropy through a direct model».
«Susan and I believe that the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we are so excited to contribute $ 6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a solid financial foundation…» he wrote on Twitter.
Michael is among the richest people in the world, with a personal fortune estimated at $ 148 billion, according to Forbes. He previously ranked 17th on the Forbes 2025 billionaires list, where his net worth at that time was $ 97.7 billion.
Susan’s personal wealth is less frequently mentioned in reports, although estimates suggest that her fortune also amounts to billions due to shared assets, investments, and her role in the couple’s charitable and financial ventures.
Michael and Susan Dell (née Lieberman) first met on a blind date in 1988, according to information from Hello! magazine. After several years together, the couple married in 1989 in Austin, Texas, the same city where Michael built his business
