The leaders of tech's biggest companies have some interesting hobbies.
Activities include gaming, working out, or — in Bill Gates' case — collecting luxury cars.
When they aren't running multi-billion-dollar companies, tech executives find time to pick up some varied hobbies.
While some, like Oracle CTO Larry Ellison, participate in expensive and unusual activities that match their ultra-high net worth, others spend their spare time in more typical ways, like hitting the gym or playing sports.
Despite having extremely demanding schedules, the leaders of some of the biggest corporations in the world still find ways to play almost as hard as they work.
Here are the hobbies of some of the biggest names in tech.
