Susan Dell

Before she was Susan Dell, she was first Susan Lieberman. The couple first met in 1988 after one of her clients in real estate insisted that she meet Michael Dell, a 22-year-old man still selling PCs out of his dorm room, but she was smitten and they started dating. A year later, the couple got engaged and later tied the knot.

During this time, Dell’s career also took off and his small company became what is known today as Dell Technologies, one of the largest manufacturers of computers today. Together, the couple started the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, where she serves as vice president. The foundation supports underprivileged children around the world by granting access to healthcare and standard education.
