Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison built one of the tech industry’s most enduring empires by pioneering commercial relational database software and aggressively scaling enterprise services. Established in 1977, Oracle initially gained traction through early government contracts before expanding into corporate data management worldwide. Through high-stakes acquisitions and a long-term transition into cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence data centers, Ellison positioned Oracle to remain a central component of global enterprise computing, substantially driving the company’s market value and his personal fortune.
- Larry Ellison co-founded Software Development Laboratories in 1977, which was later renamed Oracle after its first commercial database project.
- The company built the first commercial relational database management system based on theoretical research published by computer scientist Edgar F. Codd.
- Early funding and contracts from federal agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, helped establish the firm’s foundational enterprise software.
- Ellison oversaw major strategic acquisitions over several decades, including the purchases of PeopleSoft, Siebel Systems, NetSuite, and Sun Microsystems.
- Oracle shifted focus toward cloud computing and enterprise artificial intelligence infrastructure, forming key partnerships with major cloud providers and chipmakers to meet modern data demands.

I was watching the old video from 12yrs ago, that time he still refused to come.
Larry Ellison is one of the smartest Founders ever! Guess how much of Oracle shares he still owns? 41%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😲 😳 😮
Most founders when going public own like 1% to 2% of their Company, some maybe at 5%, other smarter Founders at 10% to 20% but Larry Ellison still owns 41% of Oracle! He never has to sell off his shares ever, guess why?
He pockets $2.3 billion a year in Oracle dividends!!! $579 million every single quarter!!!!!! 😲 😳 😮
His DIVIDENDS pays for his Lifestyle!!!! 🤭 🤣 😆
Larry Ellison is one of the greatest Tech Billionaires of all time. He has single handedly increased your quality of living even if you don't realize it.
Nice paid hype piece
Betting against ellison since 1 year would be the way better option. Oracle lost 64% from ath last year. Even with number in the last earning call oracle lost another 10%. Pretty sure oracle keeps losing next months.
Zl0s whitewashing Zl0s. Bloomberg, please stop trying to make this world supervillain palatable. The vast majority of your viewers know who he is already – this is unbearable
Is this a socialist TV?
my 🐐
Bloomberg didn’t need to be paid for this. Bloomberg, Ellison, Netanyahu, Thiel, and Epstein all play for the same sick team
It's hilarious how much Larry Ellison craves to be part of the top CEOs. My man is stressing so much.
Enjoy life you old man, you are awesome enough already.
A lot of people are calling this a 'paid' video, and it’s fair to be skeptical of the polished narrative.
However, the track record speaks for itself. Regardless of how we feel about his persona, history keeps proving that betting against his aggressive expansion strategy is usually a losing move.
oracle of oracle,
It is publicly available information that Ellison started Oracle as a CIA project. His "empire" was bankrolled from the beginning by the US government, just like Fbook, Google, palantir, and pretty much any company that has a hand in your data. Look up In-Q-Tel, it's the CIA's VC fund
Bloomberg is trying to help Oracle stock to survive. Unfortunately Oracle stock is going down no matter what.
Trump “looked at everything like the real estate developer he was before he entered politics. For him, all countries were rivals in which the success of one meant the failure of another. He didn’t think that prosperity could be increased for all… through cooperation. He judges everything from the perspective of the property entrepreneur he had been before politics. Each property could only be allocated once. If he didn’t get it, someone else did. That was also how he looked at the world.” – Angela Merkel, former German Chancellor
Donald Trump and Larry Ellison share a similar worldview, that life is a zero-sum game, and in order for them to 'win', others must lose.
Hopefully a chunk of that wealth can be well used to avoid social democrats to take over government.
By paying bribes.
I am motivated again.
Thanks.
I will give him up until age 96 to kick the bucket. Thats 14 years which is still a very long time and he might even make it to a 102, but I look at Warren Buffet who is approaching deaths door, with the kind of wealth these guys have, you can live a very long powerful life.
right, now it all makes sense 8:13
👎
he is an incredible man
Haha nice try BloomBERG 😂
Larry Ellison is a one a kind incredible man. He had a rough start, those close to him, did not believe in him. Larry showed them all. He went on to accomplish so many amazing things.
Never bet against Larry Ellison. He has proven naysayers wrong, time and time again.
Bloomberg gets the premium ad package by Google
