Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell saw his fortune climb to roughly £183 billion ($246 billion) on 29 May after the company posted its strongest single-day stock gain in history, driven by an artificial intelligence infrastructure boom that crushed Wall Street estimates and sent shockwaves through the broader server sector.

Shares of Dell Technologies soared approximately 33 per cent on the day, closing at £313 ($420.91) after touching an all-time intraday high of £319 ($429.15). The rally added roughly £26.6 billion ($35.8 billion) to Dell's personal wealth in a single session, pushing him past Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg—whose fortune stood at around £160 billion ($215.6 billion)—to become the world's sixth-richest person, Forbes confirmed.
