Steve Ballmer as Microsoft chief executive bought Finnish former smartphone giant Nokia in 2013. Satya Nadella, who took over from Ballmer in 2014, sold what Ballmer had bought just two years later.
That sale came nearly a decade after Ballmer laughed off the thing that promoted Microsoft's decision to buy Nokia and thereby establish a foothold in the smartphone market in the first place.
