US EditionLarry Ellison Could Now Overtake Elon Musk and Rise to the Richest Person in the World
- Larry Ellison became the world's richest person on Wednesday following a surge in Oracle's stock price in New York trading.
- Ellison's rise was driven by a blockbuster Oracle earnings report powered by multibillion-dollar AI-related customer orders amid a global cloud race.
- Oracle's shares jumped 41 percent on the day and have gained 45 percent this year, while Tesla shares declined about 14 percent over the same period.
- Bloomberg estimated Ellison's net worth at $393 billion, surpassing Musk's $385 billion partly due to different valuations of Musk's private holdings like SpaceX.
- Ellison's fortune increase ended Musk's nearly year-long run as richest person, though Musk may become the first trillionaire if he meets ambitious targets in a $1 trillion Tesla deal.
