Valued as of

Why two dates?

"Valued as of" is the effective date of the market closes, exchange rates, and filings inside the estimate. "Sources checked" is when the pipeline last verified those sources successfully. A weekend check can confirm a Friday valuation without inventing weekend movement.

As of September 4, 2026, Larry Ellison's estimated net worth is about $183.9B(183.9 billion US dollars). That places Larry Ellison at #8 among the people Net Worth Leader currently tracks.

This is an estimate of assets minus documented liabilities. It is not a cash balance, and many holdings may be restricted, pledged, illiquid, or difficult to value.

Summary

Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle in 1977 and still owns more than two fifths of its common stock, a stake he has held through five decades of database and cloud computing cycles. The estimate is a single large listed holding, valued at each Oracle close, which makes it unusually transparent and unusually sensitive to one share price.

How the fortune was built

Ellison built Oracle around a commercial relational database, took it public in 1986, and kept buying and holding shares as the company grew through acquisitions and, more recently, a rapid expansion of cloud infrastructure. He handed the chief executive role to successors in 2014 while remaining chairman and chief technology officer.

What drives the estimate

The estimate is effectively one position, so it rises and falls with Oracle's share price. Dividends are not accumulated into the estimate, and option grants are excluded until they vest and have intrinsic value.

Why the estimate changed

Larry Ellison's estimate rose mainly because Oracle Corporation shares increased from the prior comparable close.

  • Oracle common stock held directly: estimated increase of 5.5 billion US dollars (market price)

A one-day estimate change is not the same as income, profit, or a realized gain or loss.

Liabilities without a documented value are never shown as zero; they are simply not included, and that limitation is part of source coverage below.

Source coverage and uncertainty

100.0% of this profile's modeled gross value is supported by Tier 1 or Tier 2 evidence (primary filings, official documents, licensed market data, or audited accounts). The profile carries a strong coverage label.

No meaningful range beyond the central estimate is supported for this profile, so only the central value is published. Unknown liabilities are not evidence that no liabilities exist. No personal liability is documented for this profile, so none is deducted.

Person-specific methodology notes

The share count of 1,158,232,353 comes from his July 17, 2025 Form 4, the most recent filing that reports common stock holdings. An October 2025 option grant of 571,286 shares at $280.07 is excluded. Other reported assets, including real estate and private investments, are not modeled because no filing or transaction document values them.

Identity facts stored separately for this profile: citizenship United States; residence United States; ranking attribution United States. Attribution reason: Citizenship, residence, and the headquarters of the companies that drive the estimate are all in the United States.
