The fortune of Oracle co-founder and chief technology officer Larry Ellison has shrunk by more than $193 billion in six months, as a sharp selloff in Oracle Corporation shares erodes the wealth of one of the world\u2019s richest technology executives.\u00a0<\/p>
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Ellison\u2019s net worth fell from $388 billion as of September 22, 2025, to $195 billion as of April 3, 2026. The drop of nearly $200 billion has also reshuffled global rankings, pushing him down to sixth place after previously trailing only Elon Musk. \u00a0<\/p>
What\u2019s driving the decline?<\/strong><\/p> The slide in Ellison\u2019s wealth mirrors the steep decline in Oracle\u2019s stock. Shares have fallen nearly 58% from their September 2025 peak of $345.72, closing at $146.38 on April 2, 2026.<\/p> Ellison, who owns nearly 41% of Oracle, remains heavily exposed to the company\u2019s market performance. That concentration means fluctuations in Oracle\u2019s valuation translate almost directly into swings in his personal fortune.<\/p> Layoffs add to pressure<\/strong><\/p> Against this backdrop, Oracle reportedly laid off thousands of employees globally on March 31.\u00a0<\/p> The company has reportedly cut between 20,000 and 30,000 jobs globally, roughly 18% of its workforce. In India alone, media reports suggest that about 12,000 employees were affected across departments.<\/p> Employees were informed through early morning emails stating: \u201cAfter careful consideration of Oracle’s current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organisational change.\u201d<\/p> <\/div> Oracle layoffs, Oracle, Oracle Larry Ellison, Larry Ellison net worth, Larry Ellison net worth in 6 months, elon musk,elon musk net worth, Oracle stock, Oracle stock performance#billion #happened #Oracle #cofounder #Larry #Ellison039s #fortune1775216751<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fortune of Oracle co-founder and chief technology officer Larry Ellison has shrunk by more than $193 billion in six months, as a sharp selloff in Oracle Corporation shares erodes the wealth of one of the world\u2019s richest technology executives.\u00a0 According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Ellison\u2019s net worth fell from $388 billion as of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[1157,8795,21536,3022,3651,21537,16274,19610,21532,21533,20906,21531,20907,21534,21535],"class_list":["post-5768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-content-marketing","tag-billion","tag-cofounder","tag-ellison039s","tag-elon-musk","tag-elon-musk-net-worth","tag-fortune","tag-happened","tag-larry","tag-larry-ellison-net-worth","tag-larry-ellison-net-worth-in-6-months","tag-oracle","tag-oracle-larry-ellison","tag-oracle-layoffs","tag-oracle-stock","tag-oracle-stock-performance"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/longzhuplatform.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
