W dramatycznym momencie Larry Ellison, współzałożyciel i dyrektor ds. technologii w Oracle, prześcignął Elona Muska i zdobył tytuł najbogatszej osoby na świecie. Na podstawie niedawnego Raport Bloomberg, Ellison’s net worth took a giant leap, reaching an astounding total of $393 billion after a $101 billion increase on Wednesday morning.
This considerable leap has placed him above Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, whose current fortune amounts to $385 billion. Musk has repeatedly held the title of the world’s richest individual since 2021, though he has also often found himself leapfrogged by other billionaires like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and LVMH’s Bernard Arnault throughout the years.
Ellison’s skyrocketing wealth is attributed to the strong performance of Oracle’s cloud infrastructure business. The latest earnings report of the company suggests it could generate an impressive $144 billion in revenue over the coming four years. This promising forecast has fuelled Oracle’s shares to skyrocket and, in turn, significantly increased Ellison’s personal assets.
Despite losing the top spot, Musk stands a good chance to reclaim his throne soon. Tesla shareholders are currently considering a proposed compensation package, which, if approved, could potentially usher Musk into the trillionaire club. This package is tied to outstandingly ambitious performance milestones, which only adds to the speculation surrounding Musk’s potential wealth growth.
The fluctuating rankings among the world’s ultra-rich is a testament to the dynamic nature of market movements and corporate triumphs. Ellison’s recent surge underlines the increasing relevance of cloud computing and enterprise technology in today’s economy. But the billionaire game is not over yet; fortunes can change at lightspeed in this high-stakes milieu.
