Michael Dell is defending his wife, Susan Dell, after negative comments about her appearance surfaced online. Susan, who has been married to Michael for nearly 40 years, faced criticism from internet users following a recent event at the White House where the couple discussed their $6.25 billion pledge to benefit American children. Instead of recognizing their charitable efforts, many viewers chose to mock her looks, with some making harsh remarks.
Recently, Susan was photographed in the Oval Office with Michael and former President Donald Trump, who praised the Dells for their commitment to helping 25 million children build a strong financial foundation. Following this visit, Susan received a wave of unkind comments online, including remarks about her appearance.
In response to the cruel remarks, Michael, the founder of Dell Technologies, shared support on social media. He highlighted a post asking for people to leave his wife alone, indicating his disapproval of the negative comments. Some users, including conservative commentator Mike Cernovich, defended Susan, noting the Dell family’s significant contributions to children while the focus shifted to her looks.
Michael also retweeted messages acknowledging the Dells’ contributions, including one that expressed gratitude for donations received by children. Eric Trump, one of Donald Trump’s sons, also spoke out against the harsh treatment of Susan, stating that people can be awful and expressing his frustration over the situation. He praised the Dells for their philanthropy, calling their efforts among the largest private donations in American history.
Michael and Susan first met in Austin, Texas, in 1988, shortly after Michael began what would become Dell Technologies. They married in 1989, and Susan described Michael as the nicest guy she had ever met. They have three daughters and a son, and Susan is involved in philanthropy and fashion design, having founded her own luxury brand.
