Net Worth: $59.3 billion
Lawrence Joseph Ellison is the co-founder of Oracle Corporation and serves as the chief technology officer and executive chairman of the company. Back in the 70s, Ellison was competing with the likes of Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server. He is licensed aircraft pilot and a signatory of ‘The Giving Pledge,’ and he’s very much into yachts racing. Coming to politics, Ellison once took a stand against Edward Snowden, the whistle-blower. “Snowden had yet to identify a single person who had been ‘wrongly injured’ by the NSA’s data collection,” he had said.
