While Steven Sinofsky’s net worth is unpublished, his annual compensation including stock options was recently estimated to be $8,583,732.
Steven Sinofsky received his Bachelor’s Degree in 1987 from Cornell University and his Master’s Degree in 1989 from the University of Massachusetts. He served as the President of the Windows and Windows Live Division at Microsoft from July, 2009 until November, 2012.
Sinofsky’s leadership has been credited with being a main reason for Microsoft’s comeback following the bug-prone launch of Windows Vista and the successful launch of Windows 7.
It had been speculated that Sinofsky would become CEO of Microsoft when the current CEO Steve Ballmer stepped down, so his recent and sudden departure came as a surprise. It is rumored that the reason for Sinofsky’s departure on Nov. 12, 2012 is that he and Ballmer didn’t always see eye to eye.
