Balmer was a terrible CEO by nearly every measure

Steve Ballmer has an estimated net worth between $130 billion and $145 billion, consistently ranking among the top 15 wealthiest people in the world

What other measure is there?

    Under his watch MS missed the smartphone boat, waffled between consumer and commercial products, Windows Vista, Bing, stack ranking employees, organizational silos, pushed a know it all mindset (as opposed to a learning mindset), etc.

    The next CEO did a lot of cleanup for many years.
