From an early age, Michael Dell was fascinated by both business and electronics, and couldn't wait to combine his two passions.
By his early teens, he was using the money he earned from part-time jobs to invest in stocks and precious metals.
Gadgets and everything electronic continued to fascinate him; at age 15, he bought one of the first Apple computers and immediately disassembled it, to see if he could put it back together.
In high school he took a job selling newspaper subscriptions and used his data research skills to identify an untapped customer base, earning $18,000 in a single year.
He rewarded himself with a new computer and a BMW, and was soon planning a business venture of his own.

In January 1984, Dell registered his company as "PC's Limited".
In 1992, aged 27, he became the youngest CEO of a company ranked in Fortune magazine's list of the top 500 corporations.
