Current Assessment
Ellison co-founded Oracle in 1977 and remains its executive chairman and chief technology officer. Public wealth reporting identifies Oracle stock as his largest asset and says he owns more than 40% of the company. Bloomberg listed him at $235 billion in May 2026, while a June 2026 report citing Bloomberg said an Oracle rally lifted him to about $302 billion. Other assets, including Tesla, Lanai, Indian Wells, real estate, and older investment proceeds, matter but are secondary to Oracle.
Key caveats
- Oracle stock price changes can move the estimate by tens of billions of dollars.
- Some Oracle shares are pledged as collateral for personal debt, reducing net realizable wealth.
- Private assets and exact personal liabilities are not fully disclosed.
- A reported $40.4 billion Paramount financing guarantee is treated as contingent, not as a current debt deduction.
Evidence gaps
- Latest primary proxy share count
- Exact current personal loan balance
- Current Tesla holding disclosure
- Independent valuations for private property and sports assets
