When we talk about the global billionaires, prominent names including Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk linger in our minds. However, one billionaire dominated the list and gave tough competition to everyone. He is Oracle’s co-founder, Larry Ellison. His one-day earnings were so high that they surpassed the total net worth of Ambani and Adani combined. In this article, we will find out how much Larry Ellison earns in a day and compare that to the earnings of Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani.
On September 10, Oracle’s stock rose 40 per cent, which pushed the company’s market cap to about $948 billion, and added $100 billion (around Rs 8.3 lakh crore) to Larry Ellison’s personal wealth in a single day. The stock spike meant total net worth for Ellison to $393 billion, enough to beat Elon Musk from being the richest person in the world.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Larry Ellison’s net worth soared to $393 billion on September 10, surpassing Elon Musk, who is at $385 billion. However, it is difficult to say exactly how much money Larry Ellison earns in a single day, as most of his income comes from changes in stock prices, asset appreciation, dividends, and similar sources.
For Gautam Adani, the stock market can also create significant ups and downs in wealth. For example, in June 2025, an increase in Adani Group’s share price coincided with an increase of Rs 47,326 crore (approximately $5.6 billion) in net worth in one day. This would be the highest one-day gain for him; however, this is modest when compared to Larry Ellison’s $100 billion one-day earnings.
Mukesh Ambani’s fortune is connected to Reliance Industries’ business. His total net worth currently sits around $104 billion. The wealth of the Ambani continues to grow mildly. Although Ambani’s fortune continues to rise at a steady pace, his daily earnings have never approached the growth experienced by Larry Ellison, whose most recent single-day fortune came close to Ambani’s entire net worth.
Larry Ellison earned approximately $100 billion in one day, Gautam Adani’s highest one-day gain was $5.6 billion, and Mukesh Ambani’s net worth is about $104 billion.
The list is as per Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
