Larry Ellison Gains $5.01B in a Day as ORCL Jumps 3.56%

Larry Ellison added $5.01B of net worth on July 16, 2026, one of the day's biggest moves among the world's richest people. The swing (+$5.01B, or 3.21%) leaves the fortune at an estimated $160.74B, ranked #8 on our real-time list.

The move traces to ORCL, the listed company behind most of the fortune, which climbed 3.56% on the day to 132.49 USD per share. Because a billionaire's wealth is concentrated in stock, daily net worth simply follows the share price multiplied by the shares held.

The gain narrows the gap to Jensen Huang, who sits one place higher at $175.00B — now $14.26B away. Behind, Bernard Arnault follows at $139.47B.

Co-founder and chairman of Oracle Corporation.
