The Ellison Family – $59.9B

Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle Corporation, which develops cutting-edge hardware and software products, and is one of the world’s top ten richest men. He actually built the business up from scratch by investing around $2,000 (half came from his own pocket) and within only a decade, it has become one of the best tech pioneers in the industry. The patriarch’s wealth has filtered to his children, Megan and David Ellison, who have used their fortune in financing films in Hollywood. David’s recent credits include the blockbusters Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, and the upcoming sequel of Top Gun, while Megan has produced more indie films like Phantom Thread, Her, Vice and The Master.
