This made him the 6th highest paid CEO in the U.S. (Included $1 million for security).
Several rounds of cost-cutting, including layoffs and closing plants in the US. Followed by 2010 announcement of flagship factory in China that will employ 3,000; along with plans to spend $100 billion in China over next decade. Dell, himself, led opposition to require federal stimulus money to be spent on American-made goods. 43rd largest government contractor moved most of its production overseas. MSD Capital and other investors paid $1.3 billion to purchase the remaining $158 billion mortgage-servicing portfolio of failed IndyMac Bank from the FDIC. The FDIC promised to reimburse investors for expected potential losses of up to $9.4 billion. By EOY 2009, new bank made $700 million in profits for harsh, repugnant, shocking, and repulsive practices per a NY judge. Dell billed company $4 million for using his private jet.

In 2010, Dell contributed $2,000 to Mitch McConnell (R-KY), which brought his family s total federal campaign contributions to more than $920,000 (99% of which went to GOP and GOP-leaning groups). Of note following Meyer s time at MSD Capital - in 2013, Blackstone LP and Carl Ichan offered to purchase Dell Inc without retaining Dell as CEO.
