Larry Ellison Surpasses Elon Musk as the Richest Person in the World After a $101 Billion Increase

For the first time, Larry Ellison is the richest person on the planet, putting an end to Elon Musk's long-standing reign at the top. Ellison's wealth jumped by $101 billion this morning in New York after Oracle Corp. announced quarterly results that blew past expectations and hinted at more growth ahead. I wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk snags back the title of the world's richest man soon. He's got other investments that are still in the pipeline, and once those pay off, I bet he'll reclaim his spot at the top. But hey, big props to Larry Ellison for becoming the richest man; that’s no small feat. Even if he doesn't hold that title forever, just having been there is a significant accomplishment.

I just checked Bloomberg list and Elon musk is the richest man in the world https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/ I think Larry Ellison had a very short stay as the richest man in the world which is still a big achievement. Bill gate was the richest man at a certain time also Jeff bezos was the richest man before Elon musk but what Elon has above this guys and will probably help him to stay on as the richest man in the world is that he is investing in future solutions.

@joy_learn_crypto the source link you provided is not loading to clear what you are trying to say, but bitbakerr1 source link is loading,  but that's by way all i have to say here is that Larry Ellison won't have a long stay as the world richest man, because am very sure that Elon musk will take back his place as the world richest man in a short time, because am very sure that Elon musk have invested a huge amount of part of his wealth in something that have reduce his networth that made Larry Ellison to merged as world richest man currently. Bitbakerr1 thanks for sharing this wonderful information kudos.

From what I was able to get here it says he has been the richest man since 2025. Which means he has occupied that spot for 9 months if we're not mistaken so if Elon Musk surpasses him and regains his spot, it won't be a big deal because this man, who is much older, is still fit to do business and compete with someone much younger like Musk.  As at Wednesday, Larry Ellison's wealth surged to $393bn (£290bn) whereas Elon Musk stood at $385bn (£284bn). According to the Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. From the looks of things, the Oracle co-founder's wealth is still increasing and might enjoy that spot for sometime but there's not much to conclude as anything can happen.

Who cares if Elon Musk get back to be the richest? If he likes, he should stop politics or the political games he is playing. What is not easy about it? Most people may not have the knowledge he has but making money by big man like him is not hard for him. People that suffer most in life are in the lowest level in the pyramid. But I commend his wisdom from coming from a family that is not rich.

It was only brief, Trump is currently the world's richest man. You have to understand that their wealth is in assets and investments, which soar and can also drop. Ellison surpassed Trump briefly because Oracle's shares soared, take note that he is the co-founder of Oracle and most of his wealth is in their shares, so that was that. Oracle's shares is doing so well because AI is doing the company a world of good and they are also entering into mega deals with AI firms. If Oracle's shares continue to surge and Tesla's can't keep up, then Ellison may cement his position as the world's richest man for sometime, just as Trump has done for close to a year now.

I knew this day will obviously come. Every online presence exists in a database and I have always been baffled how Tesla will keep dominating the richest investment ever when billions of users are using databases daily. Databases aren’t just backend systems anymore. They’re becoming the new oil fields. Tesla just happens to have  dwelt in the top ranking for so long and it's time for a big overtaking.

This is the funniest bit. He was the richest man, and will maybe take over again but it is %100 guaranteed to drop and be a lot lower. Because he is a moron who doesn't understand that him speaking causes his companies to do worse. For example, tesla was a leftist car, eclectic car, democrats bought it, even AOC had one, think about that, the most leftist progressive famous politician had one. Then Elon became Elon and explained how he is republican and took sides with trump, so tesla isn't selling as he used to, and will end up with bad results. Then, just as right was about to support him, he had a fight with Trump. Now no subsidies, no money funded, nothing, he is going to bankrupt before he dies, I am one hundred precent sure of it.

I don't know where you get your conspiracy theories from, but do you seriously believe in what you have just written, you surely cannot be serious. He only briefly lost his place as richest man in the world and he is already back to that position. Even if you don't agree with his political affiliations, i don't see how that affects his wealth, c'mon, he is the richest man in the world, do you think he needs financial advice from you or myself?

The stock went down a little bit and elon become number one again but the pump that oracle is having is a good one 20% in a month. Honestly though does this rank matters that much since we all know stock goes up and down a lot and these richest people aren't cashing out their stock when it reached all time high.

Yeah the stock had crazy gains. If you frequent Wallstreetbets many people made loads of money buying the options for the earnings play. I think it jumped 40% or so which is unheard of for a large cap company such as Oracle. Since he still owns many of the shares he bumped his spot up to #1 on the rich list. Most likely unless this move was a bull trap, I dont see him climbing below Elon for a while. I dont even think bitcoin had any 40% days recently, so its crazy how his net worth went up so fast due to those earning numbers.

I would go further: who cares if Ellison overtakes Musk or not? As a curiosity, sure, but they play at levels that are too far removed from ordinary mortals. Besides, their net worth is on paper; it's not like they have all those billions in cash waiting to be spent. Most of their net worth is made up of shares in their companies, and today you can be the richest person around, but if tomorrow your company starts to decline, your net worth will drop accordingly.

Yeah i think it matters, wouldn't you like to know who the richest man in the world is, or those on the list, lol . It is true that stocks are volatile, but that is not the only investment that makes up their net worth, but it is a part of it. Things can change fast in the ranking, as we saw a few days ago when Ellison briefly topped Elon. That is why i consider it impressive when one holds the 'title' of number one for a long time, like Elon has done, it shows they are making good choices as regards investments and other whatnots.

Good for them but I don't really care much unless they give me some of their wealth lol. Anyway this is uneven wealth distribution because they have all this wealth and just imagine someone barely surviving in a day because they can't buy one meal for the day. It is saddening. Let us focus on our own wealth.

It is not the fault of the wealthy that there are poor people around the world. There would always be the wealthy, poor and middle class. However, where the poor get it wrong is in how they blame the rich, the government, everyone but themselves for their financial situation. They clamour that the rich should be taxed heavily, the rich found a way to smartly circumvent that. If so many people focus on themselves, stop complaining about the rich, and dig deep into their innate abilities, they'll not be poor today.

Tesla is supposedly the largest holder of AI data because of all the cars using it in some active way, self driving etc.   That data means Tesla should be in place to do well or possibly the best performer from use of that data.    I'm not sure how valid that idea is, surely Nvidia gains the most as making the tools which others use but perhaps its the end product which could make the most money.   It will no doubt switch about alot between various companies, nobody is quite sure and the thing about shares is its a future price in speculation of change not always about right now and certain facts.

Funny how you talk like the position of the world richest is a heritage to Elon Musk. See... Something you have to understand about this global weath analysis is that most of them are being politicized and sometimes manipulated. Elon Musk may not be in that position for his lifetime. But anyhow, I like the man in as much he is more focused of tech. Besides... He has supported the growth of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at large and he does not seem abiding with those old folk who are not conversant with the developments of the modern eras and knows what is fit-in. Not easy at all and that is just a sign that we must acknowledge that all fingers are not made equal. You can imagine people struggling to become outstanding or most notable in their respective localities and some are out there struggling to lead worid richest. Indeed, congratulations to Larry Ellison

We're all just children of our parents, who, as a rule, aren't rich. Even if they work very hard in life. And when I read articles like these about the richest people in the world, I realize that each of us would like to experience that feeling when you're not thinking about what you'll eat tomorrow, and it all becomes purely competitive. That's when you can compete over who has the biggest yacht or who has the most zeros in their bank account. I hope that everyone reading this will eventually achieve their financial goals. And as for Elon—no matter how rich he is, I don't respect him for his deceptions, like the time he hired a Chinese boy to set records in Diablo 2 and then claimed those achievements as his own.

Oracle has been a technology giant for years, and now with the advent of artificial intelligence, especially for the enterprise market, it will grow even further. Their goal, as Ellison himself stated, is to be to AI what Nvidia is to chips. Oracle will gain more prominence in the coming years if it sticks to this vision. I admire companies that have been in the market for so long and still remain competitive and current.

Sometimes I wonder if these wealthy men beat themselves up when they loose their position on the ranking of the world wealthiest men, or it is simply of no concern to them, because I am thinking that at some point as a wealthy man, you have no concern about who has more money than you do, or who you have more than, you are simply just focused on yourself and your empire and improving. People who focus on comparison are the poor or upcoming, the rich are focused on a way to get wealthy and the wealthy are focused on a way to stay wealthy.
