Larry Ellison | An Entire Hawaiian Island

 It’s already astonishing to hear about rich celebrities buying lavish mansions like a bag of candies from the grocery store but imagine someone buying an entire island! Indeed, that is exactly the case with big-shot tech billionaire Larry Ellison. Back in 2012, Silicon Valley’s very own Ellison made notable investments in purchasing a $500 million island off Dole Food’s David Murdock’s hands. Lawrence Joseph Ellison is widely known for being the co-founder, chief tech officer, and executive chairman of Oracle Corporation, a multinational computer technology corporation.

With a reported annual salary of $67,261,251, it’s no wonder Ellison can casually buy an island, and then proceed into buying a $200 million yacht afterward. Aside from acquiring 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai, the tech CEO also has numerous properties in Rancho Mirage, Lake Tahoe, and Malibu, among many other properties. To put into perspective how much money all of these costs, just imagine owning an entire island.
