In a remarkable shift, Larry Ellison has surged to the top of global wealth rankings in 2025, claiming the title of the richest person alive.
1. Larry Ellison — $393 Billion
Oracle co-founder, executive chairman, and CTO.
Claimed the top spot after Oracle’s stock exploded—rising over 40% following a stellar earnings report bolstered by AI and cloud contracts.
The single-day gain of over $100 billion marked the largest recorded in Bloomberg’s index.
Owns roughly 41% of Oracle (~1.16 billion shares), with stock buybacks over years amplifying his stake’s value.
2. Elon Musk — ~$385–384 Billion
CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter).
Previously held the #1 position throughout 2024–2025. His net worth slipped, partly due to Tesla's stock decline.
