Michael J. Saylor, the CEO of business analytics software firm, MicroStrategy, and one of the best-known executives of the Internet bubble, has an estimated net worth of $1.4billion.

In 2000, his company’s net worth had reached $7 billion. The same year the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission brought charges against him and his net worth dropped by $6 billion.
Saylor is passionate about technology, and by combining this passion with business, he became a self-made multibillionaire in the late 1990s.

He fell from the billionaire ranks after questionable accounting led to a restatement of financial results and the dot-com bust crashed the stock.
After a timely bitcoin investment in December 2020, in which he personally bought 17,732 bitcoins for $175 million, and used his company cash to buy 70,784 bitcoins for $1.1 billion, Saylor’s company, MicroStrategy, crossed the $1 billion milestone.
Saylor is a former rocket scientist. He studied aeronautics and astronautics at MIT on an Air Force scholarship before founding MicroStrategy in 1989.
Saylor mostly spends on real estate and has a home in McLean Virginia.
