It took Larry Ellison just a single day to make enough money to buy Paramount by [email protected] (Peter Kafka) via Tech ([Global] oracle cloud) URL: https://ift.tt/4adjIxt Larry Ellison, left, is one of the world's richest men. That means it's easy for him to finance the purchase of Paramount for his son, David, right. Clive Brunskill/Getty Images Oracle stock is surging because of AI. That means Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison's net worth is surging. That means it's even easier for Ellison to buy Paramount for his son David. Oracle stock is on a tear. Shares of the business software company shot up 5% on Monday and are up 64% for the year. The Oracle boom is directly tied to the AI boom. Even though investors are starting to wonder about all the money companies like Google are spending on AI, they are excited about what all that spending means for Oracle's cloud and database revenue. But those numbers are kind of abstract to most people. And lots of people don't really care about enterprise software or AI bills. So let's put it in context: The Oracle boom means that Larry Ellison, one of the world's richest men, is now much, much richer. Ellison, who co-founded Oracle, owns 40% of the company. Over the past two years, Ellison's net worth has more than doubled — from $80 billion to $181 billion. And here's more context for people who care about media, and Hollywood: Ellison, who is financing the purchase of Paramount for his son, David, has already made enough money this week to cover the entire bill. Larry Ellison, along with private equity firm Redbird Capital, is buying Paramount via a complicated transaction. The cost: $8.4 billion. When the deal closes, Ellison will control 77.5% of the troubled Hollywood studio and TV conglomerate. His total investment will reportedly be around $6 billion. And on Monday, a 5% jump in Oracle stock raised Ellison's net worth by $7 billion. That's enough to fund the whole deal, plus several hundred million in walking-around money. One more note: The Oracle boom also helps contextualize Ellison's investment in Elon Musk's version of Twitter, and explains why Ellison doesn't seem to care that the $1 billion he put into Musk's adventure in 2022 is now likely worth much, much less. And anyway, what's a billion dollars between two longtime pals who happen to be two of the richest men in the world? Musk was staying at Ellison's estate in Hawaii — Ellison owns almost all of the island of Lanai — as he was preparing to buy Twitter a couple of years ago. And the two men seem to be doing just fine now. Ellison says he recently had dinner with Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang — another one of the world's richest men. They talked about AI, of course.

Office Hours: Ask Me Anything in Haines, Alaska by Brent Ozar Unlimited via Brent Ozar Unlimited ([Global] oracle cloud) URL: https://lnkd.in/gdJueg-V After looking for bears, I took your top-voted questions from https://lnkd.in/gT-5S2Ze. Here's what we covered: 00:00 Start 00:26 James L: When you were an employee, how did you decide whether to move on to another job? I think a similar dilemma exists when you're trying to decide whether to move your own business into another phase. 01:33 QueDayTa: Hi Brent - Can you point us to what the best practice pattern is for a simple, full table refresh, Oracle-to-SQL Server ETL job? Problems: blocking, locking and execution time. We've resorted to RCSI, DELETE vs TRUNCATE vs ALTER TABLE [...] SWITCH. Thanks. 02:21 Bandhu: In SQL VM is it better to retire excess CPU cores or turn on compression to utilize the excess cores? How do you decide? 03:06 Erzsebet: What are the best and worst use cases you have seen in the field for SQL CLR? 04:08 Frank: Hi Brent! Loved your cloud training course. Followup: How bad is connection stability nowadays compared to on-prem? I read horror stories from the early days of Azure SQL. Is hardening the client code with retry logic everywhere still needed? Thx 05:00 Yusef: We need to regularly update our first responder kit installs. Is the same also true for Ola maintenance scripts and sp_whoisactive? 05:39 Shahid Kapoor: What is your opinion of WorkloadTools for capturing and replaying SQL workloads for perf testing? 05:48 Wilson Souza: Hi Brent ..I have a SQL job scheduled to run at 7:30 PM , but after reboot the server, the schedule changes for 7:30 AM.. SQL server version 2019. Any idea? Thanks for your help 06:37 Rose Noble: What are your pros / cons for long term vs short term DBA contracting? https://ift.tt/GPZcB0g
