The American tech boss Larry Ellison supplanted Zuckerberg and Bezos among the richest men. He says Elon Musk.
He is discreet, but powerful. Larry Ellison, the co -founder and main shareholder of Oracle Corporation is now the second richest man in the world. Just behind Elon Musk therefore.
Aged 81, he owes his fortune mainly to his famous database management company. The entrepreneur is also a major player in “cloud computing” (remote computer) essential for artificial intelligence, note Bfmtv.
If Oracle Corp. is well positioned on the list of companies that could buy Tiktok American activities, Ellison is also involved in the extraordinary project for artificial intelligence “Stargate”, announced by Trump in January, and in which no less than $ 500 billion could be injected.
He has a large real estate portfolio as well as many goods, including Lanai Island in Hawaii, the sixth largest island in the American Pacific archipelago, which he bought for $ 300 million in 2012.
His fortune is now estimated at more than $ 300 billion according to the Bloomberg index.
“As of August 19, 2025, Larry Ellison’s fortune was up to 302 billion dollars, against $ 375 billion for the boss of Tesla and SpaceX who saw his own fortune has been blending more than 57 billion since the start of the year,” said our colleagues.
Ellison therefore exceeds Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos in the biggest fortunes in the world, and climbs in second place.
He is also close support for Donald Trump and a donor of the Republican Party.
Does Musk worry about? The coming months will be decisive.
