As technology pervades into our daily lives, entrepreneurs whose efforts led to such advancements are increasingly being viewed as revered figures. Becoming a tech entrepreneur though is far from easy - one must pour time, money, knowledge and effort into one's idea. And even when the creation is finally unveiled, the entrepreneur still has to hope that it will be successful to justify the effort put into it. The truly successful entrepreneurs are therefore, those who not only came up with a visionary idea, but also relished the challenge of turning it into reality. Naturally, this risk-taking and never-say-die attitude have allowed many of these entrepreneurs to become sources of inspiration to the general public. Here is a list of the most well-known tech entrepreneurs. Who do you feel has inspired you the most? Rank this list to let us know!

Steven Anthony Ballmer (born March 24, 1956) is an American businessman, investor and philanthropist who was the chief executive officer of Microsoft from January 2000 to February 2014, and is the current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). As of January 2018, his personal wealth is estimated at US$38.7 billion, ranking him the 21st richest person in the world. Ballmer was hired by Bill Gates at Microsoft in 1980 after dropping out of Stanford University. He eventually became President in 1998, and replaced Gates as CEO in 2000. It was announced on August 23, 2013, that he would step down as Microsoft's CEO within 12 months. On February 4, 2014, Ballmer retired as CEO and was succeeded by Satya Nadella; Ballmer resigned from the Board of Directors on August 19, 2014 to prepare for teaching a new class and for the start of the NBA season. On May 29, 2014, Ballmer placed a bid of $2 billion to purchase the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers after NBA commissioner Adam Silver forced Donald Sterling to sell the team. He officially became the Clippers owner on August 12, 2014; Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is a fellow owner in the NBA, having owned the Portland Trail Blazers since 1988. His time as Microsoft CEO has been seen as mixed, with critics noting the company's tripling of sales and doubling of profits, but losing its market dominance and missing out on 21st century technology trends.
