Ellison experienced a more than $33 billion surge in his net worth during September, the outlet reported Tuesday. Compared to early October of last year, it has reportedly increased by tens of billions of dollars.

His holding in Oracle is a major contributor to his net worth. It amounts to over 41% of the software company’s common stock, a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicated.
