Michael Dell’s $750M Texas philanthropy legacy

Michael Dell’s connection to the University of Texas at Austin dates back to 1984, when he launched his computer business from a dorm room at the institution. This humble beginning has been woven into the couple’s enduring philanthropic legacy – one that now totals more than $1 billion. Their latest investment is a $750 million donation to create an AI-focused medical center and research campus.

The planned UT Dell Medical Center is expected to open in 2030 and will be part of a larger research campus spanning over 300 acres in Austin.
