Larry Ellison's Net Worth Drops Nearly $47 Billion Amid Oracle Stock Decline
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison's net worth declined by nearly $47 billion within a week due to a 17% drop in Oracle's stock ahead of its quarterly earnings report. His fortune fell from about $296 billion to $249.7 billion, moving him from the world's second-richest to fifth-richest person according to Forbes. The decline reflects a broader sell-off in technology and AI stocks. Analysts expect Oracle's earnings and revenue to show year-over-year growth, with a significant increase in order backlog.
