Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has reportedly won a bidding war to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers from ousted owner Donald Sterling. If the deal goes through, he will pay $2 billion for the team.

But that hefty sum is just a small fraction of his fortune. According to Forbes, Ballmer has a net worth of $20 billion, which makes him the 34th richest man in the world.
