Larry Ellison, executive chair and chief technology officer, founded Oracle Corp. (NYSE: ORCL<\/a>) in 1977. Recently, it has become a tech behemoth, largely because of its key position in the burgeoning artificial intelligence (AI) business. His net worth, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire list, is $283 billion, which makes him the second-richest person in the world. That net worth has risen by $91 billion since the start of the year, largely because of Oracle’s success.<\/p>\n

The net worth of Oracle Corp. (NYSE: ORCL<\/a>) founder Larry Ellison takes a hit.<\/p>\n

A poor earnings report that pushed Oracle\u2019s stock down sharply is to blame for that.<\/p>\n

A recent study identified one single habit that doubled Americans\u2019 retirement savings and moved retirement from dream, to reality. Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A portion of his net worth is at risk and is likely gone for the time being. Poor earnings pushed Oracle\u2019s stock down as much as 12%. As recently as late October, it was up 80% year to date.<\/p>\n

The decline in Oracle’s stock could shave billions of dollars off Ellison\u2019s net worth in less than a day. He owns 41% of Oracle, and before the stock drop, its market cap was $635 billion. That made it the 16th most valuable company in the world.<\/p>\n

Granted, Ellison owns other assets, including the island of Lanai. His significant investment in tech and media includes Paramount\/Skydance, which is currently bidding for Warner Bros. Discovery.<\/p>\n

Oracle\u2019s stock collapsed because investors believe its investment in AI is so large that it will not bring a return for years, if at all. In the most recent quarter, revenue was $16.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14%. Earnings were up 91% to $2.10 per share. On the surface, these figures are impressive.<\/p>\n

However, according to Bloomberg:<\/p>\n

Oracle Corp. shares fell 11% in early trading after the company reported a jump in spending on AI data centers and other equipment, rising outlays that are taking longer to translate into cloud revenue than investors want.<\/p>\n

Fiscal second-quarter cloud sales increased 34% to $7.98 billion, while revenue in the company\u2019s closely watched infrastructure business gained 68% to $4.08 billion. Both numbers fell just short of analysts\u2019 estimates.<\/p>\n

Ellison\u2019s net worth has become like Elon Musk\u2019s, the world\u2019s richest person with a net worth of $465 billion. It cycles up and down quickly, based largely on the value of the public companies they founded.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Why Oracle Is Not the Next Nvidia<\/p>\n
