- David Duffield cofounded not just one, but two successful enterprise software companies after age 40: PeopleSoft and Workday.
- He resigned as chairman of Workday in 2021; he cofounded the HR and finance software firm in 2005 and took it public in 2012.
- Duffield cofounded PeopleSoft at age 47 in 1987 and sold it to Oracle for $10.7 billion in cash in 2005.
- He founded his sixth enterprise software company, Ridgeline, in 2017, and is chairman of the cloud software firm for investment managers.
- He has spent more than $900 million supporting animal welfare, education and other causes, mostly via his family foundation and Maddie's Fund.
- Duffield mortgaged his home to bootstrap PeopleSoft in the 1990s.
- Duffield says he plans to leave the bulk of his fortune to Maddie's Fund--named after his beloved schnauzer--and other charitable causes, not to his 10 children.
