Henry Ross Perot, is a billionaire businessman, politician, and philanthropist from the United States. His birth name was Henry Ross Perot. He was the company's founder and CEO of Perot Systems and Electronic Data Systems.
In the 1992 U.S. presidential election, he launched an independent campaign; in the 1996 election, he campaigned as the nominee of the Reform Party, which was established by grassroots backers of Perot's 1992 campaign. Despite not winning a single state in either election, both of his campaigns were among the best by an independent or third-party presidential candidate in American history.
After 1996, Perot didn't run for public office again. In the 2000 election, he supported Republican George W. Bush over Reform candidate Pat Buchanan, and in 2008 and 2012, he backed Republican Mitt Romney. Perot Systems was purchased by Dell in 2009 for $3.9 billion. In 2016, Perot ranked as the 167th wealthiest person in the US, according to Forbes.
