Larry Ellison's Oracle stake value halves after 50% share price drop

10 articles · Updated · The Wall Street Journal · Apr 27

Ellison’s Oracle holdings, now about 1.2 billion shares or 40% of the company, have lost half their value since September, reducing his net worth to $212.9 billion.
He has borrowed heavily against his Oracle shares, pledging them as collateral to fund personal ventures and recently guaranteed over $40 billion for the Warner Bros. deal.
Unlike other tech billionaires, Ellison has maintained a large stake in his company, but the share price decline raises risks if lenders require more collateral or sell shares, potentially impacting Oracle further.
