- borism 16y agoyeah, and Bill Gates with his mere 6.95% is totally irrelevant too. I mean, I probably could own and influence as much of MSFT trough various Vanguard ETFs!
- reitzensteinm 16y agoI guess I don't understand your sarcasm. With only $3m in stock, even if he made the stock rise 5% with this deal, that's only an increase of $150k. I'd say his financial future is far more tied with the success of Nokia than Microsoft.
- borism 16y agoI'd say his financial future is far more tied with the success of Nokia than Microsoft. and why would that be? I guess majority of his current net worth is in MSFT, and future success of NOK is now firmly tied to MSFT as well.
- o1iver 16y ago"I guess majority of his current net worth is in MSFT" That would mean that his net worth is only around 4-5 million and I doubt that is the case... What reitzensteinm means is that his stake in Microsoft is probably only a small part of his net worth. I would also guess that he owns significantly more (from a number_of_shares*share_price point of view) of Nokia than of Microsoft. That is why "his financial future is far more tied with the success of Nokia than Microsoft".
