Lawrence Joseph Ellison was born on August 17, 1944, in New York City.
In 1977, Ellison co-founded Oracle Corporation, a pioneering software company that played a significant role in the development of relational database management systems.
Under Ellison's leadership, Oracle became a dominant force in the enterprise software market, providing solutions for database management, cloud services, and business applications.
In 1990, Oracle went public, and Ellison's wealth surged as the company's market presence expanded globally.
Ellison is known for his competitive spirit and strategic acquisitions, including the high-profile purchase of Sun Microsystems in 2010, strengthening Oracle's position in hardware and software integration.
A yachting enthusiast, Ellison's team, Oracle Team USA, won the America's Cup multiple times, showcasing his passion for both technology and competitive sports.
Ellison has a reputation for his flamboyant lifestyle, including luxury real estate acquisitions, high-end car collections, and involvement in professional yacht racing.

Larry Ellison is very wealthy, but what's stopping you from reaching that same level of success? As summarized in our five fundamental rules to wealth building, becoming wealthy in a modern capitalist economy is not complicated. There's actually only three variables:

  1. Your starting capital
  2. Your earnings after expenses
  3. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of your savings

Most people start with zero or very little, so if you weren't born into wealth, don't fret! The majority of the fortunate folks listed in our Grizzly Bulls’ Billionaires Index came from middle class or lower backgrounds. The most distinguishing characteristic of the group is their ability to consistently earn a high CAGR on their savings.

Every billionaire has a unique strategy to achieve high CAGR. For Larry Ellison, Oracle is the primary source. Whether you choose to invest your savings in your own businesses or the businesses of others is not as important. The salient piece of the puzzle is ensuring that your hard-earned savings are generating sufficient CAGR to reach your long term goals.

Most people simply invest their money in index funds and call it a day. There's nothing wrong with this approach, but it guarantees relative mediocrity. To achieve greatness, you need to invest your money to earn higher than average returns. In the long run, better investors will always finish ahead of better earners.
