NOVEMBER 13, 2006
Snapshot: Dave Duffield BORN Sept. 21, 1940, Cleveland. EDUCATION BS, science and electrical engineering; MBA; both from Cornell. CAREER His first job was as a low-level engineer at IBM. Went on to start five businesses, including, most recently, the software company Workday. BIG SCORE Duffield made almost all his $1.2 billion fortune from creating PeopleSoft. Roughly half came when Oracle bought the company in December, 2004. FAMILY He and his wife, Cheryl, have nine children, from 6 to 40; six grandchildren; three dogs; two fish; and a parrot. BRING YOUR FAMILY TO WORK Duffield's wife, brother, and two children worked at PeopleSoft. Son Mike and daughter Amy followed him to Workday. PHILANTHROPY Created Maddie's Fund, a pet rescue foundation, and gave it $300 million. When he was poor, Duffield made a promise to his "first child," a schnauzer named Maddie, that if he ever made money he'd make life better for her kind.
