Lawrence Joseph Ellison, better known as Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle, has once again found himself in the spotlight. After the company presented financial results that exceeded analysts’ expectations, his fortune increased sharply. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, by the morning in New York, Ellison’s capital had grown by $101 billion, reaching $393 billion. Thus, he overtook Elon Musk, whose fortune is estimated at $385 billion, and became the wealthiest person on the planet.

However, the public is interested not only in the billionaire’s business successes, but also in his personal life. At the age of 80, Ellison married for the fifth time – his chosen one was 33-year-old Jolene Zhu.

A new chapter in Larry Ellison’s personal life.

Previously, the entrepreneur had a long-term relationship with Ukrainian-born model Nikita Kan. Their relationship began in 2010, when Larry was 66 years old and Nikita was only 19. The couple broke up in 2023, although the exact date of the breakup is unknown. After that, the billionaire did not appear in public with new lovers, and only recently did it become known about his secret wedding.

The secret was revealed by accident: the University of Michigan thanked Larry and his wife Jolene for helping sign a contract with quarterback Bruce Underwood. It was this message that revealed the fact of the billionaire’s marriage.

Who is Jolene Zhu?

The real name of Ellison’s wife is Zhu Ke Ren. She was born in China to a wealthy family and later moved to the United States, where she became a citizen. Jolene graduated from the University of Michigan and, until recently, did not advertise her relationship with the billionaire.

Ellison’s former marriages.

First wife – Adda Quinn (born in 1967). The union broke up in 1974 due to financial difficulties.

Second wife – Nancy Wheeler Jenkins. The marriage lasted only a year and ended in divorce in 1978. It is noteworthy that she sold her Oracle shares to Ellison before the company took off.

Third wife – Barbara Booth, who worked as a secretary in his company. The couple had two children – David and Megan, now famous Hollywood producers. However, three years later, the union broke up. Curiously, Ellison’s son is ten years older than his current wife.

Fourth wife – writer Melanie Kraft. Their lavish wedding was remembered for the participation of Steve Jobs, who even photographed the ceremony. But this marriage also ended in divorce.

Now Larry Ellison has tied the knot for the fifth time – with Jolene Zhu, who is almost half a century younger than him.
