Throughout his career, Benioff has also been committed to using information technology to produce positive social change. In 2000, he launched the Salesforce.com Foundation—now a multimillion-dollar global organization—establishing the “1/1/1 model,†whereby the company contributes one percent of profits, one percent of equity, and one percent of employee hours back to the communities it serves.
Prior to founding salesforce.com, Benioff was at Oracle Corporation for 13 years in a variety of executive positions in sales, marketing, and product development. At 23, he was named Oracle's Rookie of the Year and three years later he was promoted to vice president, the company's youngest person to hold that title.[7] Before joining Oracle, Benioff worked as an assembly language programmer at the Macintosh Division of Apple Computer, where he was inspired by the company and its co-founder, Steve Jobs.[8] While still in high school, he founded Liberty Software, which specialized in microcomputer games, creating and selling games for the Atari system[4] among others.[9]||[edit]

Perhaps if companies become "social", they will act like "people" instead of corporations whose prime duty is to reward stockholders at all costs

This reminds me of the "Minnesota model" whereby most big businesses contribute 5% of income to the community. I wonder how many still subscribe to that program.||Here are the investments he's made in total
