Salesforce.com founder Marc Benioff gets a new role - that of a media baron
Time Magazine is being sold by Meredith Corp to Marc Benioff, a co-founder of Salesforce, and his wife.

The sale is occurring nearly eight months after Meredith Corp. completed its purchase of Time Inc.

Negotiations for the sale of the three other publications Fortune, Money and Sports Illustrated are continuing.
