Another Microsoft billionaire, Steven Ballmer grew up in Motor City, USA. With oil running through his veins, one might assume that Ballmer would have a fleet of Ferraris, Porsches and Rolls-Royces. Wrong. Steven Ballmer stays true to his Detroit roots by driving a 1998
Lincoln Continental. Though more sporty than Warren Buffet’s Lincoln Town Car, Ballmer’s maroon Lincoln Continental is no red Ferrari. On the horizon: a Lincoln Zephyr, but expect Ballmer to pile on at least another 10,000 miles first.
