Larry Ellison Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Larry Ellison has spent the past few days doing what now defines the late chapter of his life story: quietly tightening his grip on technology, media, and real estate while letting others speak for him in public. According to the Palm Beach Post, Ellison recently added Lion Country Safari in Palm Beach County to his trophy‑property collection, paying about 30 million dollars through a company tied to his family address, and local brokers say his Florida land play now approaches half a billion dollars and is likely tied to his wildlife‑focused philanthropy rather than a quick flip. Palm Beach reporting also notes that this comes on top of his near‑total ownership of the Hawaiian island of Lanai and a cluster of ultra‑luxury resorts and estates, underlining how central land, privacy, and controlled environments have become to his legacy as much as software ever was.
In business and politics, recent coverage from Fortune and The American Prospect puts Ellison at the center of two of the decade’s biggest stories: the AI compute boom and the remaking of global media. Fortune reports that Oracle stunned Wall Street by inking a roughly 300 billion dollar cloud deal with OpenAI, part of a 455‑billion‑dollar backlog that briefly helped make Ellison the richest person on earth this fall, while he championed AI‑driven surveillance as a way to keep both cops and citizens “on their best behavior.” The American Prospect and Business Insider both describe how a relatively small slice of that fortune helped his son David take over Paramount and CBS, then circle Warner Bros. Discovery and CNN, positioning the Ellisons to become a Murdoch‑scale conservative media dynasty if regulators and the White House sign off.
On social platforms, The Nation and Jewish Telegraphic Agency outlets report that Oracle is set to lead a U.S. investor group taking control of TikTok’s American operations, giving Ellison a major stake in one of the world’s most influential apps and raising hopes in some Jewish and pro‑Israel circles that he will clamp down on antisemitism there, even as critics warn of a hard‑right media bloc spanning Facebook, X, TikTok, CBS, and possibly CNN. Public appearances from Ellison himself remain scarce in the last few days; most headlines lean on past comments, regulatory maneuvering, and property records rather than fresh sound bites, consistent with his increasingly behind‑the‑curtain style.
