The Microsoft chairman is the world's most spammed person: about 4 million messages arrive in his mailbox on daily basis.

Steve Ballmer made the startling claim at the start of a two-day Microsoft-sponsored Asia Leadership Forum in Singapore.

He said Bill gets about four million emails a day, most of them spam. Ballmer was characteristically quiet about how much &to=http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/88/352/13195_spam.html' target=_blank>spam he gets but said it was his own fault because he tends to shout out his email address [stevebГѓВ microsoft.com] in all public speeches, reports The Inquirer.

According to Xinhua, Bill Gates receives 4 million e-mails a day, but practically an entire department at the company he founded is dedicated to ensuring that nothing unwanted gets into his inbox, the company's chief executive said Thursday.
