Steve Ballmer is worth $147 billion.

Not by any stretch of my imagination is the man underrated. I'd say, like many American CEO's, he has vastly been overrated through a failure in capitalism.

If I do some back of the envelope calculations, a teacher makes about 50k a year, so about 2 million in a career. In his career so far, Steve Ballmer has made as much as 75k teachers do in their career. For comparison, Arizona has about 50k teachers.

Now, the man has achieved a lot, maybe even a lot compared to other CEOs. But by this measure, he must be overrated.
