Ballmer owns four percent of Twitter
 

The shy and retired former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer now owns a big chunk of Twitter.

Ballmer has a four percent stake in Twitter according to his spokesman, making him the third biggest individual shareholder in the social notworking outfit. In other news Ballmer has become so shy that he has hired someone else to do his speaking for him.

To put this in some perspective, Ballmer’s stake is worth more than $800 million based on Twitter’s $21 billion market value. Only co-founder Evan Williams and Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal have greater stakes.
