 Jerry Yang is a bit of a cipher, no?

The Merc didn't get to talk to Jerry, but they did talk to people knew him, once. With a nod to the good folks at Valleywag, here's our abbreviated version:
Jerry emigrated from Taiwan in 1978, when he was 10, knowing one word of English - shoe. He became an instant millionaire in 1996. "He was very humble," and inspired loyalty among employees. But "he also had this country club aspect to him". He was happy to relegate the chief executive role to others. Now he is "done. Nobody will bring him at this level again."
