    Larry Ellison Biography Flash: Oracle Titan's $300B AI Deal and TikTok Takeover Reshape Tech Empire
    Dec 20 2025
    Larry Ellison Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Larry Ellison has spent the past few days exactly where he likes to be: at the center of money, power, and controversy. The single biggest storyline is his deepening role in the future of social media and surveillance tech. Fortune reports that Oracle, the company Ellison co-founded and still dominates as executive chairman and CTO, has become a critical infrastructure partner in a massive multiyear cloud deal with OpenAI, worth an estimated 300 billion dollars in compute over about five years, a staggering bet that cements Ellison as one of the principal landlords of the AI era. Fortune also notes that Oracle is tied into the larger Stargate data center project with SoftBank and OpenAI, positioning Ellison as a core player in the physical backbone of next-generation artificial intelligence, a development with clear long-term biographical significance in the same league as his original Oracle database bet.

    Layered on top of that, Common Dreams and NPR report that Oracle and an investor group including Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi based MGX have secured an 80.1 percent stake in the new U.S. TikTok entity, giving Ellison’s camp control over the algorithm and data environment for roughly 170 million American users. Under the deal, TikTok’s U.S. algorithm will be retrained on American data, with content rules set by the new investor controlled board. Politically, Ellison is again in the crosshairs: Common Dreams highlights criticism from Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is questioning whether Donald Trump’s administration orchestrated a backdoor deal for a billionaire takeover of a key media platform, linking this move to earlier scrutiny over the Paramount Skydance merger led by Ellison’s son David. That political heat will likely stick to Larry’s legacy, reinforcing his image as the Silicon Valley billionaire most comfortable operating inside raw power politics.

    On the media front, industry reports summarized by IMDb’s news feed describe David and Larry Ellison as preparing a potential hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, directly challenging Netflix’s already announced multibillion dollar offer. While the bid remains in the realm of high level deal speculation rather than a finalized transaction, sources quoted in trade coverage say the Ellisons believe they can outbid Netflix with an all cash proposal and are furious over what they view as a rigged process favoring Paramount and Skydance. If this gambit advances, it would mark Larry Ellison’s most aggressive move yet into Hollywood, extending the family’s reach from Skydance into a full scale studio empire.

    No major verified public appearances or personal social media posts from Ellison himself have broken through in the last twenty four hours, and recent chatter about his whereabouts appears speculative rather than confirmed. What is clear, from Fortune, NPR, and the Hollywood trades, is that Larry Ellison is currently trying to own the cloud that runs your AI, the app that powers your short videos, and possibly the studio that makes your movies and shows. For a man once obsessed with databases, it is an unmistakable late life pivot into controlling culture and attention.

  • Larry Ellison Biography Flash: Oracle Titan's TikTok Takeover and $300B OpenAI Deal Reshape Tech Empire

    Larry Ellison Biography Flash: Oracle Titan's TikTok Takeover and $300B OpenAI Deal Reshape Tech Empire
    Dec 13 2025
    Larry Ellison Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison is making seismic moves in social media and AI that could redefine his legacy as a tech titan with unmatched influence. Just this week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order greenlighting a multibillion-dollar deal to bring TikTok's U.S. operations under American control, with Ellison's Oracle poised to lead the charge. Fortune reports Oracle will oversee the app's algorithm and user data security, recreating a U.S. version while ensuring no Chinese backdoor access. Vice President JD Vance confirmed the algorithm falls under American investors, calling it fully U.S.-operated. Trump himself spotlighted Ellison's big role alongside backers like Rupert Murdoch and Michael Dell, per White House statements.

    This caps a saga where Ellison, a staunch Trump ally, emerges as TikTok's kingmaker, stirring buzz about right-wing moguls dominating platforms from X to Facebook. The Nation highlights Ellison racing Elon Musk as the world's richest, now controlling TikTok alongside his son David's grip on CBS via Paramount and potential CNN sway. Jewish leaders are optimistic too; JTA notes Oracle's deal, led by the Israel-supporting Ellison—who's donated millions to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces—could curb antisemitism rampant on the app, as praised by JFNA CEO Eric Fingerhut.

    Business-wise, Oracle stunned Wall Street with a 300 billion-dollar OpenAI cloud deal for AI computing power, plus Stargate Project data centers with SoftBank, fueling 455 billion in contracts—a 359 percent jump, per recent earnings calls. No fresh public appearances or social media posts from Ellison in the last few days, but these developments scream long-term power plays in surveillance tech, echoing his past prediction of AI-monitored citizens on best behavior.

  • Biography Flash: Larry Ellison's Secret Empire - From Wildlife Sanctuaries to TikTok and AI Billions

    Biography Flash: Larry Ellison's Secret Empire - From Wildlife Sanctuaries to TikTok and AI Billions
    Dec 6 2025
    Larry Ellison Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    Larry Ellison has spent the past few days doing what now defines the late chapter of his life story: quietly tightening his grip on technology, media, and real estate while letting others speak for him in public. According to the Palm Beach Post, Ellison recently added Lion Country Safari in Palm Beach County to his trophy‑property collection, paying about 30 million dollars through a company tied to his family address, and local brokers say his Florida land play now approaches half a billion dollars and is likely tied to his wildlife‑focused philanthropy rather than a quick flip. Palm Beach reporting also notes that this comes on top of his near‑total ownership of the Hawaiian island of Lanai and a cluster of ultra‑luxury resorts and estates, underlining how central land, privacy, and controlled environments have become to his legacy as much as software ever was.

    In business and politics, recent coverage from Fortune and The American Prospect puts Ellison at the center of two of the decade’s biggest stories: the AI compute boom and the remaking of global media. Fortune reports that Oracle stunned Wall Street by inking a roughly 300 billion dollar cloud deal with OpenAI, part of a 455‑billion‑dollar backlog that briefly helped make Ellison the richest person on earth this fall, while he championed AI‑driven surveillance as a way to keep both cops and citizens “on their best behavior.” The American Prospect and Business Insider both describe how a relatively small slice of that fortune helped his son David take over Paramount and CBS, then circle Warner Bros. Discovery and CNN, positioning the Ellisons to become a Murdoch‑scale conservative media dynasty if regulators and the White House sign off.

    On social platforms, The Nation and Jewish Telegraphic Agency outlets report that Oracle is set to lead a U.S. investor group taking control of TikTok’s American operations, giving Ellison a major stake in one of the world’s most influential apps and raising hopes in some Jewish and pro‑Israel circles that he will clamp down on antisemitism there, even as critics warn of a hard‑right media bloc spanning Facebook, X, TikTok, CBS, and possibly CNN. Public appearances from Ellison himself remain scarce in the last few days; most headlines lean on past comments, regulatory maneuvering, and property records rather than fresh sound bites, consistent with his increasingly behind‑the‑curtain style.
