Larry Ellison CEO Oracle

Year, after year, decade after decade, Ellison s power grows along with Oracle s. He has crafted his most ambitious plan yet for the software giant: to turn it into a hardware and data center giant. Although Oracle hasn t hit its stride with these new plans yet, it s hard to doubt the man. He s been successful at almost everything he s done, including winning the most prestigious sailing race ever: The America s Cup. He brought the 2013 race to his home base in San Francisco this summer to try and win again.
