The $66 Billion Chase: Is Larry Ellison About to Dethrone Elon Musk?

robot
Abstract generation in progress

Here’s a wild stat: Larry Ellison is printing money faster than most countries’ GDP grows. The Oracle co-founder’s wealth jumped $28.4 billion in a single day this week, bringing his net worth to $296 billion—just $66 billion behind Elon Musk’s $362 billion throne.

The Numbers That Matter

At 80, Ellison isn’t slowing down. Over the past year:

  • Added $104 billion to his fortune
  • Averaging ~$500 million per day
  • Controls 41% of Oracle, which has been on a tear

In June alone, Oracle’s stock surge handed him a $41 billion windfall—including a $25 billion day that would bankrupt most countries’ startups.

The Math Gets Spicy

Remember: a year ago, Musk’s lead was $104 billion. Now it’s $66 billion. Do the extrapolation math and Ellison could theoretically catch up in weeks, maybe days, if Oracle maintains its momentum.

The Plot Twist

Musk and Ellison are actually friends. Ellison held a Tesla board seat (2018-2022) and has backed Musk through multiple controversies. So this isn’t a villain-origin story—it’s two tech titans in an unplanned wealth race.

The real question: Will Oracle’s stock surge hold, or does this gap close at all?

TL;DR: Ellison’s gaining $500M daily. Musk’s lead shrinks by the week. Cloud computing is literally wealth-printing right now.
