Yo, SoCal fam, we’ve got some major tea to spill! Larry Ellison, the brain behind Oracle and a total tech titan, just zoomed past Elon Musk to snag the title of the world’s richest man with a staggering $393 billion net worth. That’s right, he’s outshining Tesla’s big boss (who’s sitting at $384 billion) and living that billionaire life at 81 years young.
Now, when you’re rolling in that kind of dough, you know the lifestyle is next-level - think Malibu mansions and private jets on the daily. But what’s got LA buzzing even more than his bank account? His love life. Larry’s been married five times, and his current flame, Jolin Zhu, has been holding it down with him for seven years - with a 47-year age gap that’s pure Hollywood drama.
Let’s talk about Jolin Zhu, the lady who’s got Larry’s heart on lock. Originally from China, Jolin landed in the US back in 2010 to chase her dreams with a bachelor’s degree in international studies at the University of Michigan. Fast forward, and she’s now the fifth Mrs. Ellison, though the exact date of their wedding is hush-hush - classic private power couple vibes.
At just over three decades into her life, Jolin’s nearly half a century younger than her hubby, but age is just a number in this love story. They’re rarely snapped together by the paparazzi, keeping their romance low-key despite living in a jaw-dropping $110 million palatial pad near the Bay Area - just half a mile from where Jolin used to rent a modest $2,600-a-month spot.
“Jolin’s not just a trophy wife; she’s got the brains and the background to match Larry’s empire. Their partnership is the real deal,” a close source to the couple dished to our team.
Jolin isn’t just sipping rosé by the pool in some fancy Cali estate - she’s making power plays alongside Larry. Case in point: she had a major hand in a multi-million dollar deal involving NFL quarterback Bryce Underwood. At just 17, Bryce flipped from Louisiana State University to Jolin’s alma mater, the Michigan Wolverines, and she was instrumental in sealing that switch.
Champions Circle chairman Nate Forbes couldn’t help but shout out her impact, saying Jolin and Larry provided “invaluable guidance and financial resources” to make it happen. Talk about a dynamic duo - this couple’s got the Midas touch, whether it’s tech or touchdowns.
Before she was living that billionaire life, Jolin was reportedly chilling in a humble Bay Area apartment near Oracle’s headquarters. Rumor has it that’s where she might’ve first crossed paths with Larry, possibly even scoring a gig at his company. But here’s the kicker - word on the street (via outlets like The Daily Mail) is that Jolin hails from a wealthy family herself, so she’s no stranger to the high life.
Now, she’s upgraded to sharing Larry’s billion-dollar property empire, with homes sprinkled across the globe. Their main crib in California? A $110 million masterpiece that’s basically a stone’s throw from her old rental. Talk about a glow-up, SoCal style!
Larry’s romantic history could fill a Hollywood screenplay. He’s been down the aisle five times, with four divorces under his belt. His first marriage to Adda Quinn lasted seven years before they split in 1974, reportedly over Larry’s wild spending habits - hey, when you’re building an empire, the bills stack up!
His second go-round with Nancy Wheeler Jenkins was a total whirlwind - married after just a year of dating and divorced six months later. Wife number three, Barbara Boothe, gave him two kids during their 1983-1986 union. Then came romance novelist Melanie Croft, his fourth wife, whose wedding was shot by none other than Steve Jobs. They called it quits in 2010 after about seven years. And now, Jolin’s the leading lady in this ongoing saga.
