Safra Catz Biography

Is Safra Catz Married? If So, Who Is Her Partner?

The successful bander Safra Catz is in matrimony to her longtime husband, Gal Tirosh. Unlike herself, her spouse is not a notable personality and is an ordinary Israeli national. The lady once described her partner as a "writer who was secure in his role as a stay-at-home dad."

Safra and Gal walked down the aisle in 1997. The pair have been living as husband and wife for over two decades, and their relationship seems to be on good terms.

From their marriage, Safra and Gal share two children, both of whom are sons, Gary Tirosh and Scott Tirosh. As famous and renowned as she is, Safra lives a closed-up life with her spouse and kids. The Oracle CEO and her family live in California.

To top it off, she is also not active on social media. Therefore, there is relatively less information about her personal and daily activities. Well, other than wishing her a healthy life and more success in her already illustrious career, we can't think of better things for the executive!

Tech-Executive's Political Involvement

Besides running a multi-billion dollar mega-company, Safra is also somewhat associated with politics. After Donald Trump was elected the President of the USA in the 2016 election, she was among the several high-profile CEOs along with Tim Cook, Sheryl Sandberg, and Jeff Bezos, who were invited to talk with for potentially taking up a position in the new administration. 

In 2016, news surfaced that she was considered for the post of U.S. Trade Representative or Director of National Intelligence. In December 2016, Safra joined the President-elect Donald Trump's transition team. 

Reportedly, she will sit on Trump's executive committee and continue to work as CEO at Oracle. Boarding on the team, she said:

"I'm actually privileged and honored to even be here, and we are looking forward to helping you (Donald Trump), and your administration"

Talk about multi-tasking!

The lady has also donated a fair share of her wealth to the election candidates. During the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, she donated to the campaign of Marco Rubio while during the 2018 election cycle, she gave over $150,000 to Republican-aligned groups and individuals, including Congressman Devin Nunes.

Mind-Boggling Wealth And Annual Paycheck 

From her three decades working as managing director, executive, and president of the world's successful corporations, Catz has an eye-popping net worth of $1.8 Billion as per Forbes.

The lady's incredible fortune is thanks to her successful career as co-president and CEO of Oracle Corporation. Even though she owns less than 1% of the giant tech company, it is still enough to give her the title of billionaire, which only a few women in the world hold.

According to Fortune, she was the highest-paid woman among Fortune 1000 companies taking in a salary of $51.69 million in 2011. In 2017, her salary was $40.9 million while in 2018, she made a salary of $108 million.
