Executives who made their fortunes in tech are some of the wealthiest people in the world.
Still, the men at the top are, as a whole, much wealthier than their female counterparts.
Using data from wealth intelligence firm Wealth-X and Forbes' billionaire list, we've compared the respective net worths of the wealthiest men and wealthiest women in tech.
You'll notice there's a rather large gap. While the wealthiest woman in tech (HP CEO Meg Whitman) is worth $1.3 billion, the wealthiest man (Bill Gates) is worth a whopping $79.2 billion.
