Steve Ballmer has sold off millions of his Microsoft shares raising himself a tidy sum but has indicated that this move is not a precursor to establishing some sort of retirement fund.
The Microsoft boss has offloaded £800m worth of shares, the first time he has done any selling for seven years, which was revealed in an SEC filing.
Ballmer still holds 359 million shares, worth $9.6bn at the current market valuation, and posted a statement on his blog to ensure any rumours of his retirement were strangled at birth.
"Even though this is a personal financial matter, I want to be clear about this to avoid any confusion," he said, adding that he remained "fully committed to Microsoft and its success."
