This billionaire is the co-founder of the Oracle Corporation, where he also served as the CEO until September of 2014. While he gave up the position as CEO, he still is the chairman of the board and chief technology officer. Oracle has developed into a very successful tech company, and employs over 136,000 people. In 2016, Oracle purchased cloud-software firm Netsuite for $9.3 billion. Ellison joined Tesla’s board in 2018,after purchasing 3 million shares early that year. He also happens to be a college dropout…why some of the top billionaires are dropouts is truly amazing. He doesn’t just own a home in Hawaii, he purchased a whole island – the remote Hawaiian island of Lanai. He fell in love with the property and bought it in 2012.
