An avid yachtsman, which tech tycoon and "oracle" of Silicon Valley bought himself a Hawaiian island in 2012?

The Oracle founder forked over $300 million to buy his own piece of paradise: the Hawaiian island of Lanai, nicknamed "Pineapple Island" after the plantation that once operated there. Ellison built a luxury spa and hydroponic farm on the island, and in December 2020 he announced that he had moved to Lanai permanently. Strangely, Ellison purchased an $80 million Palm Beach mansion a few months later. His fortune has been skyrocketing lately, thanks to the $1 billion or so he paid back in 2018 for three million Tesla shares. Those shares are now worth $13 billion.
