Larry Ellison is all about water sports. He partly financed the Oracle Team USA sailing team, which won the 33rd America's Cup yacht race in 2010. But he's more than just a sponsor. Oracle CTO Ellison has also participated in yacht racing himself since the 1990s. "It's funny, because I realized after losing twice that my personality wouldn't allow me to quit while losing. And then after winning the America's Cup, I discovered my personality doesn't allow me to quit while winning! I don't smoke, but I do sail," he told CBS in 2013 when asked about his need to win the America's Cup.
