• 甲骨文联合创始人拉里·埃里森周三首次超越特斯拉（Tesla）首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk），荣登全球首富宝座。这位现年81岁的执行董事长得益于甲骨文持续增长的云基础设施业务；尤其值得注意的是，该公司本周宣布最近一个季度斩获多项价值数十亿美元的合同。
这位现年81岁的软件巨头甲骨文联合创始人首次超越埃隆·马斯克，荣登全球首富宝座。
据彭博亿万富翁指数显示，埃里森于20世纪70年代联合创立甲骨文，目前仍担任该公司首席技术官与执行董事长。过去一天，其净资产飙升至3930亿美元，超过了马斯克的3850亿美元。
周二收盘后，甲骨文股价实现两位数暴涨，埃里森的身家一夜之间暴增1010亿美元。周三，甲骨文股价延续涨势，早盘交易时段涨幅超40%。截至周三，该公司股价较年初已实现翻倍。彭博社报道称，埃里森持有甲骨文逾40%的股份，其大部分财富与该公司紧密相连。
作为云服务提供商，甲骨文从大规模基础设施投资中获益。自2022年ChatGPT发布引发先进大型语言模型（LLMs）军备竞赛以来，其服务备受囤积数据的人工智能公司的青睐。
据《华尔街日报》报道，甲骨文在最近一个季度宣布斩获多项合同，预计将带来4550亿美元收入，较上一年度实现大幅跃升。首席执行官萨弗拉·卡茨（Safra Catz）表示，预计在年底前还会有多家市值达数十亿美元的客户签约。
过去数月，甲骨文股价持续攀升使埃里森超越Meta首席执行官、Facebook创始人马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）——此前扎克伯格是仅次于马斯克的全球第二大富豪——最终成功反超马斯克。马斯克于2021年首次登顶全球首富，后被亚马逊（Amazon）执行董事长杰夫·贝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）和路威酩轩集团（LVMH）的贝尔纳·阿尔诺（Bernard Arnault）取代。据彭博社统计，马斯克于2024年重新夺回首富头衔，并保持了约300天。
甲骨文股价攀升之际，特斯拉股价却持续下挫。路透社援引研究公司考克斯汽车（Cox Automotive）数据称，这家电动汽车制造商今年以来股价下跌13%，其在美国市场的份额已跌至2017年以来的最低水平。
不过，马斯克或许仍存翻盘希望。上周，特斯拉董事会提出一份薪酬方案，若马斯克能达成包括十年内使公司股价增长八倍等若干宏大目标，其将成为全球首位万亿富豪。（*）

• Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison beat out Tesla CEO Elon Musk to claim the title of world’s richest person for the first time Wednesday. The 81-year-old executive chairman has benefitted from Oracle’s growing cloud-infrastructure business; most notably this week, as the company announced it won several billion-dollar contracts in its most recent quarter.
The 81-year-old cofounder of software giant Oracle beat out Elon Musk to claim the title of world’s richest person for the first time.
Ellison, who cofounded Oracle in the ‘70s and is still its chief technology officer and executive chairman, saw his net worth skyrocket over the past day to $393 billion, jumping ahead of Musk’s $385 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index.
Ellison’s wealth rose by $101 billion overnight after Oracle’s stock exploded by double digits after close Tuesday. On Wednesday, Oracle’s shares continued their upward trajectory, up more than 40% in morning trading. The company’s stock price has, as of Wednesday, doubled year-to-date. Ellison owns more than 40% of Oracle, and much of his wealth is tied to the company, according to Bloomberg.
Oracle has benefitted from large infrastructure investments in its role as a cloud provider and its services have been highly sought after by data-hoarding AI companies since the release of ChatGPT set off an arms race for advanced large language models (LLMs) in 2022.
The company said in its most recent quarter it won several contracts expected to yield $455 billion in revenue, a huge jump from the year prior, the Wall Street Journal reported. Before the end of the year, several more multibillion-dollar customers are expected to sign up with the company as well, said its CEO Safra Catz.
In recent months, Oracle’s recent stock gains lifted Ellison above Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who was previously the second-richest person behind Musk, before ultimately beating out Musk. Musk claimed the title of world’s richest for the first time in 2021 before being toppled by Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos and LVMH Bernard Arnault. Musk reclaimed the title in 2024 and held onto it for about 300 days, according to Bloomberg.
While Oracle’s stock is on the rise, Tesla’s shares are falling. The electric-car maker’s stock is down 13% year-to-date and its market share in the U.S. has dropped to its lowest point since 2017, Reuters reported citing data from research firm Cox Automotive.
But there may be hope for Musk, yet. Last week, Tesla’s board proposed a pay package that would make Musk the world’s first trillionaire—so long as he meets several lofty goals like increasing the company’s stock eightfold over the next 10 years.
