Financial records shattered on Sept. 10 when, for just a few hours, Elon Musk was no longer the richest human being on Earth.
Instead, Larry Ellison, co-founder of the tech giant Oracle, was the new wealthiest human being alive with a net worth of $383.2 billion, per CNN. This shift in massive riches came after Ellison, who is Oracle’s largest (individual) shareholder, saw his wealth grow by $89 billion when Oracle reported massive demand for its data center due to artificial intelligence (AI) usage, which in turn caused Oracle shares to gain by 43%.
