The Ellison Family – $95B
The Oracle Corporation, which researches and builds groundbreaking software and hardware services, was co-founded by Larry Ellison, the tech giant who is in the top ten list of the world’s wealthiest males. Starting from almost nothing, Ellison cleverly invested an incredible $2,000 (one half of the sum out of his personal funds) and in ten years rose to global heights, recognized as a leading tech innovator. The cyber lord’s successes have trickled down to his offspring, David and Megan Ellison, who in turn wielded their riches to fund Hollywood blockbusters. With regards to David, some of his contemporary film titles include epics such as Star Trek and Mission: Impossible, not to mention the exciting next installment in the Top Gun series. Megan, on the other hand, prefers the opposite kind of film, producing independent hits such as The Master, Vice and Phantom Thread.
