Oracle co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison’s net worth surged on Wall Street’s positive reaction to the software giant’s fourth-quarter earnings results.
Forbes, which tracks the wealth of billionaires, reported a more than $15 billion increase in Ellison’s fortune on Wednesday, the day after Oracle CEO Safra Catz said she expects "continued strong AI demand to push Oracle sales and RPO even higher – and result in double-digit revenue growth" in fiscal 2025.
