I believe Bill get would have remained there if he wanted
He was on top for a whole 10 years until he gave almost 99% of his wealth to charity

I would do exactly what Bill Gates did when my wealth gets to this level

The maximum amount of money a person needs to enjoy quality living for the rest of his life can't be more than $50 million

Elon Musk has lost his title as the world's richest person to Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle and an ally of US President Donald Trump.

Ellison's wealth surged to $393bn (£290bn) on Wednesday morning, surpassing Musk's $385bn (£284bn), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Shares in Oracle soared more than 40% after the database software company gave investors a surprisingly rosy outlook for its cloud infrastructure business and artificial intelligence (AI) deals.

Ellison, [b]whose net worth is tied to the company, has steadily built his fortune over the past five decades.

Musk had held the title of world's richest person for nearly one year. He could receive a pay package worth over $1tn (£740bn) if he hits a list of ambitious targets over the next decade, the board of the electric car firm has proposed.

But shares in Musk's most valuable business, Tesla, have fallen this year.

The electric vehicle maker has grappled with investor jitters over the Trump administration's rollback of electric vehicle initiatives, on top of consumer backlash to Musk's political involvement.

Oracle has recently been propelled by growing demand for data centre infrastructure.

The company projected as part of its quarterly earnings report on Tuesday that revenue from its cloud business will jump 77% this year, to $18bn, with further growth expected in the coming years.

Oracle has reported a surge in demand among AI companies for its data centres, which helped push its stock dramatically higher.

It signed four multibillion-dollar contracts with customers in the last quarter and anticipates several more deals in the months ahead, chief executive Safra Catz said on Tuesday.

Trump ties and media ambitions
Ellison, 81, helped start Oracle in 1977 and rose to prominence in the 1990s, when he became a public figure known as much for his lavish lifestyle as for the database company behind his fortune.[/b]

He was Oracle's chief executive until 2014 and is now the company's chairman and chief technology officer.

And he has positioned himself as an ally to President Trump.

When Trump returned to the White House in January, Ellison appeared alongside OpenAI's Sam Altman and SoftBank's Masayoshi Son to announce a project called Stargate, to build out AI infrastructure in the US.

Oracle has also emerged as a possible buyer of TikTok, the app owned by the Chinese internet company ByteDance. TikTok is facing a ban in the US unless it divests itself of its ByteDance ownership.

In January, when asked whether he was open to Musk buying TikTok, Trump responded: "I'd like Larry to buy it, too."

Ellison's media ambitions extend beyond TikTok.

He funded the bulk of a $8bn bid by his son to acquire Paramount, which owns CBS and MTV.

That deal between Paramount and the media company Skydance, which is controlled by his son David, closed last month.

Larry was not the founder of Oracle
Elon was not the founder of Tesla

E go sweet trump like mad . Well over taking is allowed

I think President Donald Trump is always strategic with his alliance... That has always been his approach at growing his business to a multi-billion dollars empire over decades and long before he even became president the first term

Skeyskey:
Exactly. But I've seen some trying to acquire a skill but later stopped due to accute hunger. No one can learn anything on empty stomach.

If you noticed
All the top richest men are founders
They created something and overtime it grew. If you know how much Elon don lose for that him company before getting to where he is, head go pain you. It's never an easy journey my friend

What a fuc!!! I have always said it that the next richest man in the world would definitely be from that particular technological advancement called AI....it's so infectious that practically everything in this our present lives is AI influenced and enhanced......even me, as I dey drive so, na AI dey show me road and even driving my Bugatti.....it's so interesting.....guys in IT......more butter to your elbows.....read and research more to be able to break that present threshold of AI advancement. It's infinitesimal, the road to breakthrough is an open road, open sesame in Aladdin, in Germany here, we dey call am Autobahn, just press the pedal down to the highest of the highest, only success will caution you.....Oya my IT guys.....

Was that not what you said a whiIe ago?

Meanwhile stop pretending to be a female, we already know you're male

Trump do Elon strong thing...!

Business and Politics can never be truly separated!

You cannot go very far in business if you don't know how to play your politics.

Just ask Dangote and Elumelu... They are prime examples of what I'm talking about.


Anyway... Musk is getting that crown back! It's inevitable.

At your last sentence, then take me to court.

It's temporary just as when Jeff bezos did.
When he eventually meet the threshold where Tesla have set he get his payout , he will become the world's first trillionaire in dollars .

datola:
Lol. They are called Forbes or papper billionaires

But really they do have the cash but not this much. Most of the wealth is mere/real valuation.

How was Musk able to buy Twitter for over 40 billion USD

All those Arabs flexing money anyhow will not even feature here

These CEO's money are in shares.

Omoawoke:
Don’t be fooled, it’s all valuation not real cash
Money is not even real anymore for these guys at this stage

Money is only real to people in need

If not for 'valuation' cash too is ordinary paper.

Money is money whether in cash or digit

It is because you think that money is just banknotes.

Those who invented the monetary system will listen to your explanation and smile in disbelief. You are thinking like a peasant--the kind who don't understand how a man that lives in a mansion and flies private jet as a CEO only earns $1 salary.

Tech men are the richest.

It's a matter of time they collaborative again consciousness and take over world power completely. Elon is at the door. It in line with the natural order that the more intelligent once dispose the lesser

How does someone make $101 billion in a single day??

The power of American technology Industry.

It is not valuation
People paid money to buy shares in Oracle today
$41 Billion worth of deals were done today
The shares were $240 yesterday . Trading just closed 8 minutes ago the shares closed at $328
Not valuation that is the amount of cash that charged hands in one day
More money than has entered Nigeria in many months
Real transfers
It is not valuation when a company has cash and pays dividends to shareholders
