Larry Ellison is one of the richest people in the world, and his fortune continues to grow. The co-founder of Oracle has turned the software giant into a global leader, equaling his wealth with tech magnates like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. By 2025, thanks to the rapid development of Oracle’s cloud business and successful investments in companies such as Tesla, Ellison’s wealth has reached new heights.
Ellison is a technology billionaire, best known as the co-founder of Oracle Corporation, one of the world’s largest companies providing corporate software. Born in 1944 in New York and raised in Chicago, Ellison dropped out of college twice before moving to California, where he eventually helped launch Oracle in 1977. In addition to his role in technology, Ellison is known for his lavish lifestyle, including owning private jets, one of the largest yachts in the world, and the Hawaiian island of Lanai.
According to Forbes, as of September 2025, Ellison’s fortune is estimated at around $ 385 billion. His wealth has significantly increased in recent years due to the growth of Oracle’s stock, driven by the demand for cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
Ellison built his fortune by co-founding Oracle and turning it into a global leader in databases and cloud services. The company has become indispensable for corporations and governments worldwide. For decades, Ellison held large stakes in Oracle, and his wealth grew rapidly as the company’s valuation increased. He also made successful investments, including shares in Tesla, real estate, and his own Hawaiian island.

No, Ellison may be one of the richest people on Earth, but he is currently not in first place. By 2025, he ranks second in the list of the world’s richest people, just behind Musk. Ellison also set a historic record this year, becoming the second person in history to surpass a fortune of $ 400 billion, after Musk.
According to Forbes, Musk’s fortune is estimated at around $ 438 billion as of September 2025. He often ranks first in the list of the world’s richest people along with Mark Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Ellison. Musk’s wealth largely depends on the price of Tesla’s stock, as well as his stakes in SpaceX and other ventures
