What it's REALLY like to grow up as a BILLIONAIRE heir: Son of former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer lifts the lid on his ultra-privileged upbringing - opening up about everything from his Christmas gifts to his 'shame' over his family's enviable wealth
Pete Ballmer, who is currently living in San Francisco, sat down with Business Insider to dish the details on his enviable childhood
He grew up as one of three sons in the Ballmer household with his father (pictured), the former Microsoft CEO and current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, at the helm
Pete began: 'Up until I was in late elementary school, my understanding was that my family was rich, but I didn't know that we were globally and historically rich'
The doting son divulged that his Christmas presents were not any more lavish or expensive than the other kids he knew - with standout gifts at various points in his life being a Gameboy, weight bench and ping pong table
He worked as a project manager for around four years before deciding to quit and pursue his dream of being a standup comedian full time
Steve Ballmer made headlines when he purchased the Clippers in August 2014 for $2billion in the wake of the Donald Sterling scandal
