Larry Ellison closes out a remarkable year as Oracle sees its strongest stock rally since the dot-com era, adding nearly $75 billion to Ellison’s net worth. Oracle’s shares have climbed 63% in 2024, significantly outpacing the S&P 500’s 27% gain. This boost has elevated Ellison’s net worth to over $217 billion, positioning him just behind Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in global wealth rankings, according to Forbes. Oracle’s success is linked to its strategic moves in the AI sector, leveraging its cloud infrastructure technology. Partnerships with companies like OpenAI and Meta have bolstered Oracle’s market presence. Despite a recent earnings report that fell short of expectations, Ellison remains optimistic about future growth.
