Larry Ellison isn’t just another tech billionaire – he’s playing 4D chess while everyone else is stuck on checkers.

In the span of just a few years, Oracle’s founder has transformed from a behind-the-scenes tech mogul into a media powerhouse that would make Rupert Murdoch look like an amateur.

From Tech Titan to Media Master

What started as modest investments in his children’s media companies has exploded into a potential empire spanning broadcast networks, streaming platforms, movie studios, and now – potentially – TikTok. With Paramount Skydance already a massive media conglomerate and rumors swirling about acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, Ellison is quietly consolidating unprecedented media control.

The Art of Power Plays

This isn’t Ellison’s first rodeo in ruthless business tactics. Known for hiring private detectives to dig up dirt on competitors and being compared to a “modern-day Genghis Khan” by his own biographer, he’s never been afraid of aggressive expansion. His willingness to make politically strategic moves – like potentially pushing out Stephen Colbert and courting right-wing media personalities – suggests a calculated approach to media dominance.

Wealth Beyond Imagination

With a net worth that can fluctuate by $100 billion daily, Ellison has financial resources that dwarf entire countries’ economies. This means he can experiment, acquire, and restructure media companies with the same casual ease most people change their socks.

As Ellison continues his media conquest, one thing becomes crystal clear: in the world of tech and media, he’s not just playing the game – he’s rewriting the entire rulebook.
