Bangalore: It’s an unspoken law— “keep your online image clean and attractive.” Be it on Facebook or LinkedIn, the law is just followed without being aware of it, since it’s too obvious even to mention it. So what if the immensely wealthy people, be it America’s second wealthiest man, Warren Buffet or David Cheriton, who wrote very first checks to Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 1998 are oblivious to the most obvious. Their websites are easily the ugliest one present and least matches to the billions they sport. Read on to know top 5 ugliest billionaire web sites as compiled by Forbes.  

#5 David Cheriton: $1.3 billion

Website: http://www-dsg.stanford.edu/DavidCheriton.html

David Cheriton is the professor billionaire, a Stanford Academic Who Wrote Google its very first check, whose net worth is $1.3 billion according to Forbes, and who  likely is the wealthiest full-time academic in the world.

The first two companies he founded were sold to Cisco Systems and Sun Microsystems, respectively, for hundreds of millions.

He also invested more than $50 million in 17 different firms, which range from VMware to his latest, Arista Networks.

But the investment that’s cream of crop is a $100,000 check he wrote in 1998 to a pair of Stanford Ph.D. students named Larry and Sergey. That check alone is now worth more than $1 billion in Google shares. “I feel like I’ve been very fortunate in investing, but I still have the brain of a scrounger in terms of spending money,” he says.

But even with such a near legend living and good money, his Stanford Professor’s Page is noticeably un-designed and says suits a person who is nothing like a Stanford professor. But the website for the Department of Computer Science at Stanford, through which Cheriton’s DSG operates, is much less offensive.
