How Larry Ellison is Quietly Shaping the Future of A.I., Social Media and Hollywood
Oracle’s Larry Ellison wields $190 billion to reshape A.I. infrastructure, safeguard TikTok U.S. and secure a $110 billion Warner Bros. Discovery deal.
Larry Ellison stepped down as Oracle’s CEO more than a decade ago. Yet the company’s co-founder, now executive chair and chief technology officer—with an estimated net worth of $190 billion—remains deeply involved in Oracle’s biggest moves. His influence ripples far beyond enterprise software, extending from A.I. infrastructure and social media to Hollywood. Ellison is a key backer in the Trump administration’s Stargate project, the U.S. takeover of TikTok and the $110 billion Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition led by his son, David Ellison.
