Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison has paid about $14.5 million for a recently refurbished house on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, Calif., and has listed his unfinished apartment in New York City for $26 million, according to public records and the New York Post.
One of the world's five richest men, according to Forbes, Ellison also owns three other homes:
- A completely remodeled, 10,742-square-foot mansion on San Francisco's Gold Coast that he bought in 1996 for $3.9 million but is now worth $25 million, according to public records and the Washington Post;
- A Japanese-style, 38-year-old mansion with artificial waterfall on 1.64 acres in Atherton, Calif., which he bought in 1987 for $3.2 million and spent three years and $15 million renovating, according to public records and Forbes magazine; and
- A 23-acre compound with a Japanese-style imperial villa in nearby Woodside, Calif., that is under construction and that, at $100 million, would be one of the most expensive private residences ever built in the United States. |
