On September 10, local time, after becoming the world's richest man for a long time, Elon Musk had to give up his position. Of course, he might not care so much about such things.
The new world's richest man has appeared, but he is also the "old man" (also literal) on the billionaire list, that is Larry Ellison, another legend in the technology world. According to reports, with the strong performance of Oracle stocks, Ellison, 81, surpassed Musk and became the world's richest man, with his latest net worth of $393 billion, surpassing Musk's $385 billion.
Ellison, who was in his 80s, had intersections with Musk 11 years ago. At that time, he was Musk's "mentor" to help him through Tesla's early crisis. Musk publicly called Ellison a "close friend" and said in 2025 that "Larry is the person I trust the most."
Similar to Musk, 53, Ellison also became a guest of honor in the White House after Trump became president for the second time. It’s just that he is not that close to the president, so he won’t be as embarrassed as Musk’s “friendship boats are overturned as they say”.
It is worth noting that in 2025 Musk's wealth also increased by more than $100 billion, but Ellison's growth is faster. Some analysts pointed out that Ellison's wealth surge was mainly due to Oracle's AI cooperation with Amazon, Microsoft and Google, driving stocks to rise sharply. Musk's wealth depends on Tesla's performance, and because Tesla's stock fluctuates greatly in 2025, he temporarily lost his position as the richest man.
Like Musk, Ellison's personal life is also colorful, but he doesn't seem to be keen on having babies.
Ellison is currently living in a low-key manner with his fifth wife. The marriage between the two was exposed last year, saying that he married a Chinese lady as his wife.
Jo Lin, who is 48 years younger than the richest man in the new world, has been seen watching tennis matches with her husband many times. But that happened many years ago, and the two probably hadn't been married yet.
Ellison's first marriage took place in the 1960s and was with Adda Quinn. At that time, Ellison was still far from the name of technology tycoon. After seven years of marriage, he became turbulent in his marriage due to "instable financial situation", and then parted ways with Quinn.
The two subsequent marriages were one year and three years, followed by the eye-catching fourth marriage, and the romantic novelist Melanie Craft. Ellison's fourth wedding was grand, and the wedding photographer was even Steve Jobs. Although it began vigorously, it ended in just 7 years.
To talk about Ellison's most lasting relationship, he had to be with Ukrainian model and actor Nikita Kahn (as shown in the picture). The two have been together for 10 years and often appeared in public with each other.
But even so, Kahn failed to become Ellison's fifth wife. The title of "Mrs. Ellison" was taken away by Qiao Lin, a Chinese girl who went to the United States to study.
