概要

 Larry Ellison Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Larry Ellison's net worth has experienced an unprecedented collapse this year, with Oracle's cofounder losing nearly fifty billion dollars in just over a month, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. His fortune dropped from two hundred forty-seven billion at the start of January to below two hundred billion by Wednesday, February fourth. A single five percent plunge in Oracle stock on that day alone erased approximately nine billion dollars from his wealth.

The dramatic decline stems from a broader software sector rout triggered by Anthropic's release of Claude Cowork AI plugins, which can automate critical corporate functions in legal, sales, finance, marketing, and data analysis. Investors fear these tools will cannibalize demand for traditional enterprise software from giants like Adobe, Salesforce, and Intuit. The sell-off also reflects growing concerns about Oracle's aggressive financial positioning, with the company carrying five hundred twenty-three billion dollars in remaining performance obligations, nearly ten times its annual revenue according to Business Insider reporting.

Michael Burry, the investor famous for shorting the housing market in two thousand eight, has publicly bet against Oracle and criticized Ellison's strategy. Burry stated that Oracle didn't need to take on this level of debt and questioned whether ego might be driving these decisions, calling the company's moves hard to explain despite its historically strong business model.

Despite these financial headwinds, Ellison remains deeply involved in major initiatives. Oracle recently inked a three hundred billion dollar computing contract with OpenAI and is partnering on the massive Stargate data center project alongside SoftBank. Additionally, Ellison's company has emerged as a key player in TikTok's US operations, with Oracle holding a fifteen percent stake and managing the platform's user data oversight. Fortune reports that Ellison is simultaneously pivoting to longevity and wellness investments, betting that the aging population presents the next major growth frontier for business and innovation.

The Oracle chairman has temporarily slipped to sixth place on the global wealth rankings, falling behind Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, as investor pessimism mounts. Morgan Stanley analysts cut Oracle's price target by thirty-three percent, adding pressure to the stock.
