Remember that kid in high school everybody picked on? The one with the glasses whose lunch money got swiped? Well, guess what? These days, he could buy and sell you! We're delving into "The Fabulous Life of the Nerdiest Nerds," to show you how some of the most insanely rich people on earth are bringing geeky back--and loving it. From tech moguls like Steve Wozniak and the Google guys to closeted nerds like hip hop's Pharrell Williams and Hollywood's Jennifer Garner, we've got the dish on dorks with dough.
What does a nerd buy when he strikes it rich? Tech toys, of course. Pharrell may be one of the coolest guys in hip-hop. But underneath it all he's a geek with a passion for Star Trek -- and cutting-edge techno-toys. His idea of bling is a totally tricked-out $30,000 iphone. We visit Pharrell's chic clothing boutique to discover the inner nerd behind the fashion and hip hop mogul.
Wait until you see how Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are living. With fortunes estimated at $19 billion a piece, these guys have all the glorious gadgets and machines money can buy, including their own Boeing 767, customized for jet-setting parties.
Sure, they got picked last for gym glass, but these nerds have got game now! Billionaires Mark Cuban and Paul Allen decided if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em! They've spent millions buying up professional sports teams. As a kid, Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak spent most of his time in front of a computer. But he's taking us on the field to play the hottest tech-geek sport: Segway polo.
This one's for the uber-goobers--who are now living the Fabulous Life!
