Once a school dropout, he is now, according to Forbes , one of the richest people in America with a net worth of around $184 crores. The figure also makes him the ninth richest in the world.As a young man, Ellison worked for the Ampex Corporation, where one of his projects was a database for the CIA. He called it Oracle, a name he was to reuse years later for the company that made him famous.Interestingly, the organisation’ s initial release was Oracle 2. The number supposedly implied that all bugs had been eliminated from an earlier version.Ellison is quite a colourful man, and has long dabbled in all kinds of things. Want to learn more?
