Larry Ellison, Oracle’s co-founder and 82-year-old tech titan, is poised to sell up to 50 million shares—worth $7.5 billion—between June 22 and October 24, marking a massive shift from his historic reluctance to offload stock. Despite this, he’ll still retain over 1.1 billion shares, maintaining control of more than 40% of the company. His strategic pivot helped transform Oracle from legacy software to an AI powerhouse, buoyed by a recent earnings beat driven by cloud growth—but at a cost: soaring debt has rattled investors, dragging the stock down 20% year-to-date. Meanwhile, Ellison’s financial influence extends beyond Oracle—he helped fund the Skydance-Paramount merger through his son David’s production company, cementing his status as the world’s seventh-richest man.
