Oracle’s Historic Rally
On Wednesday, Oracle’s stock staged a historic rally, climbing 36% in a single session. The surge pushed the company’s market capitalization to a staggering $922 billion, following an already impressive 40% rise this year.
Ellison’s $88 Billion Windfall
The rally catapulted Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison’s personal fortune by nearly $88 billion in just one day, taking his net worth to $383 billion. For a brief window, that was enough to make him the richest person in the world, overtaking Tesla’s Elon Musk, who closed the day with $384bn.
A 50-Year Journey to the Top
Ellison’s extraordinary rise highlights a remarkable journey that began nearly half a century ago, when he co-founded Oracle. From a modest software startup, Oracle has transformed into one of the most valuable tech giants, rewriting both Wall Street records and the billionaire rankings.
