Behind every billionaire there is a story!

Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli has successfully defended the America’s Cup that he prised away from New Zealand four years ago.

But for all his sporting and business achievements, the head of the Alinghi syndicate is a quiet man driven by two passions: his family and sailing.

The former owner of biotechnology firm Serono is among the 100 richest people in the world. But it was his success in sailing’s biggest competition that made Bertarelli a household name.
