According to reports, Michael Dell, 59, has joined a consortium that includes lifelong Toffees fans Andy Bell and George Downing in trying to buy the club from majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.
American billionaire Michael Dell is reportedly interested in buying a stake in Everton
The Mail claims Dell, who owns the computer brand of the same name, has strengthened the belief that business could be resolved before the start of the new season.
Some have described talks as being at an "advanced" stage, while others remain more cautious over a potential deal.
Other interested parties include venture capital firm MSP Sports Capital.
At the age of 19, Dell founded Dell Technologies with just $1,000 in the bank.
He famously said at the time, "technology is about enabling human potential" which proved to be prophetic in the world we live in today.
Some 30 years later, his wealth has rocketed to around £95billion, according to Forbes, making him the 10th richest man in the world.
In a pinned tweet on his X account from 2021, he wrote: "I started Dell Technologies 37 years ago with $1000. Revenues in 1984 were $6million. Last year's revenues were $94.2billion. Impossible is nothing."
Such a huge wealth has enabled Dell to become a huge player in the property market.
Homes to die for
Unsurprisingly, Dell, who married wife Susan Liebermann in 1989 and has four kids, has a number of homes dotted around the States.
Famously, Susan designed the inaugural ball gowns for Jenna and Barbara Bush in 2001, according to Business Insider.
They reportedly reside in Austin, Texas in a super mansion that boasts eight bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a tennis court, indoor and outdoor pools.
The 33,000-square-foot home is surrounded by a total of 119 acres, and features insane views of Lake Austin.
The property is 20 miles from Round Rock, where Dell Technologies is based.
Just a few miles away, Dell has another mansion dubbed the 6D ranch.
The grounds are used by family and friends for recreational hunting, which allowed Dell to receive a $1million agricultural tax break.
East Coast digs
Not content with his luxury digs in the Lone Star State, Dell has expanded his property portfolio to the East Coast.
In 2014, he paid £100.47million for a Manhattan penthouse on Billionaire’s Row.
The purchase made it the city's most costliest home at the time.
Found in One57, a 1,005 feet tower on West 57th Street, it has six bedrooms.
There are also multiple smart kitchens built within its 11,000-square-feet.
Sitting on top of the Park Hyatt New York, residents can also take advantage of the five-star hotel's dining and catering services, as well as get a birds-eye view of Central Park.
Three years after splashing the cash in the Big Apple, Dell turned his attentions to Boston.
He paid £32million for a 7,200 square-foot unit in the exclusive Four Seasons Private Residences One Dalton Street.
The tallest residential building in New England, it's just over an hour away by plane.
In 2014, Dell paid £80m for the penthouse in the One57 building
Overlooking Central Park, Dell's property purchase was the most costliest in New York at the time
Incidentally, Dell can get there in his own $50million Gulfstream V jet.
Typically, they accommodate 12 passengers and four crew.
American billionaire Mark Cuban also owns one, while Steve Jobs was given a Gulfstream V as compensation from Apple in 2000.
Dell can travel anywhere in the US he wants in his Gulfstream V jet worth $50m
In 2017, Dell added a 7,200 square-foot unit in the exclusive Four Seasons Private Residences One Dalton Street in Boston to his property porfolio
