Oracle reported record fourth quarter revenue and beat analyst estimates Wednesday night, but the stock fell on weaker-than-expected guidance. The stock's drop has made co-founder Larry Ellison worth significantly less and falling down the billionaires list.

Ellison has been one of the biggest risers and fallers on the world's richest list in recent years.

Ellison briefly passed Elon Musk to become the richest person in the world for part of one day in 2025. That title was short-lived, and unlike Musk, who is adding to his net worth in 2026, Ellison is falling behind.

On Wednesday, Oracle stock fell after-hours and sent Ellison's wealth down by more than $10 billion.
