Complete article: http://celebritynetworth.wiki/mark-hu... Mark Vincent Hurd was born on 1 January 1957, in Flushing, New York City USA, and is a businessman who is probably best known as a co-CEO, the director, and a board member of Oracle Corporation, which has definitely had the biggest impact on his total net worth. He has also been a chairman, CEO and president of Hewlett-Packard. So, just how rich is Mark Hurd? Well, the American’s net worth is estimated by celebrity dot money to be over 35 million dollars, the larger part of his wealth having come from his involvement in large, lucrative companies such as NCR, HP and Oracle. Being the president of Oracle, his annual salary is over two million dollars in addition to a 7.3 million-dollar cash bonus, much of which is attached to stock price aimed at pushing executives to progress company performance. He has a huge home in Palo Alto, California now valued at over eight million dollars. Mark spent his childhood in Flushing, then attended Baylor University thanks to the tennis scholarship he received, but graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, after which he joined NCR. He spent 25 years with the company, beginning as a very junior salesman and culminating in his last two years as CEO and president. He was obviously very successful, as confirmed especially by the company’s revenue increasing significantly, and so of course his own net worth. Mark Hurd moved to Hewlett-Packard in 2005, becoming both CEO and President, and was initially on the board of directors before also becoming chairman in late 2006. Mark is commonly recognized as the one who turned Hewlett-Packard around, certainly in the short-term, by effecting widespread efficiencies, although in the longer term some unwise acquisitions and lack of internal development was apparently part of the reason he resigned. Possibly his departure was helped by an alleged affair, and inappropriate use of expenses, but his salary and leaving bonus were apparently unaffected. Within a month, in September 2010 Mark was appointed as co-President at Oracle Corporation, and subsequently in September 2014 he was appointed co-CEO. Interestingly, he is reputed to rise early every day, because he supposedly wants to wake up before his competitors. Mark Hurd is known for bringing success and generally increased profits to every company that he has worked for. Additionally, with Lars Nyberg he has co-written the book “The Value Factor: How Global Leaders Use Information for Growth and Competitive Advantage”. Concerning his personal life, he is married to Paula Kalupa; and they have two daughters. They currently live in Palo Alto. He is known to be a very reserved person and hardly ever talks about his personal life in interviews with the media. However, he is very active on social networks, especially on Linked In with over 160,000 followers.
