From Forbes:
"Cofounded German software giant SAP with four former IBM colleagues. Officially retired, his varied interests keep him busy. A sports enthusiast, he skis, snowboards, plays golf and tennis, and sails; his yacht, Morning Glory, won the Transpacific Yacht Race last July, beating out Roy Disney's Pyewacket. Has set up HassoPlattnerVentures to help incubate young and promising information technology companies. Last year donated his luxury golf estate in South Africa for a concert hosted by Nelson Mandela to raise AIDS awareness."
