Harald Tschira is a German billionaire heir. His wealth is rooted in his inherited stake in SAP SE, the world's largest ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software company. He is the son of the late Klaus Tschira (d. 2015), a co-founder of SAP. His fortune is tied to the immense value of the software giant, which was founded in 1972 after the partners left IBM.

Harald, along with his brother Udo Tschira, inherited their father's stake in SAP. His career is defined by the generational stewardship of this immense software fortune and his role as a major philanthropist through the Klaus Tschira Stiftung (Foundation), which was established by his father in 1995 to fund the natural sciences, mathematics, and computer science.

Harald Tschira's career is primarily focused on the fiduciary oversight of the Klaus Tschira Stiftung. The foundation's massive endowment (contributed privately by his father) ensures it is one of Germany's most significant private charitable organizations, supporting research and education from kindergarten to research institutions.

His structural role involves ensuring the continuous funding of this structural commitment to German scientific research and education. His brother, Udo, also shares this governance role. Harald's wealth is secured by the long-term appreciation of his minority stake in the publicly traded SAP SE and his control over the philanthropic mission that defines the family's public legacy.

Harald Tschira's social impact is massive and structural, tied to the Klaus Tschira Stiftung's role as a major funder of German scientific research and education. His foundation provides structural funding for critical national sectors (math, computer science) and promotes the dialogue between science and society.

His structural contribution is the long-term, stable funding of intellectual capital in critical national sectors and ensuring the legacy of the SAP founder continues to shape scientific progress.

Harald Tschira maintains the professional, intellectual style of a German heir and philanthropist. His attire is conservative and high-quality, reflecting the stability and seriousness of the family's mission. His aesthetic is one of quiet, established authority.

Residing in Heidelberg, Germany, his luxury is the immense security and financial reward derived from his multi-billion dollar fortune. His life is dedicated to the stewardship of his father's legacy, focusing on scientific excellence and education.
