Larry Ellison was nine months old when his mother gave him away. His adoptive father told him regularly that he would never amount to anything.
That kind of origin story explains the yachts and the $220 billion net worth. It doesn’t explain what Oracle became. This episode traces the man behind the machine. From a college dropout in Chicago to the architect of an empire that touches every layer of human activity.
In this episode:
- Ellison’s abandonment and the psychology of empire
- The NetSuite connection and the SEC’s uncomfortable questions
- Ellison’s private island in Hawaii and what it tells you about control
- The relationship with Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and the billionaire network
- How personal insecurity became institutional surveillance
