God Doesn’t Think He’s Larry Ellison

San Francisco and San Jose are main cities in San Francisco Bay Area. You can take about one hour to get to one from another. Usually you ride on the busy and crowded freeway 101 to connect the both cities along the side of San Francisco Bay. There is another free way 208, a little bit more time you take, along the side of Pacific Ocean, is not so crowded.

I have visited a small city named Wood Side located in the middle between both cities at free way 208. Wood Side is knows as one of the most exclusive residential districts in California. Wood Side is very close to Silicon Valley, so many rich executives in high-tech companies live in there. Larry Ellison, CEO and founder of Oracle which is the worldwide biggest database Company, is one of them.

Larry Ellison is one of the most famous persons in Silicon Valley. They say that he is one of the richest men in the world, despot, arrogant, genius and cruel man. Probably all true. He tried to buy NFL and NBA teams, took part in Americans Cup the biggest yacht race in the world. He is, and then, as known out speaker and hates Bill Gate.

Bill Gate was born in a rich family in Seattle, Washington. But Larry Ellison was born in East Side of Manhattan, New York. His mother was unmarried and 19 yeas old. His father was a young punk of the neighbor. He was adopted into his aunt family lived in Chicago soon. Larry Ellison is now 62 years old but he have met his mother just one time and never met his father.

Bill Gate likes popular casual bland goods and clothes, loves his wife very much, as you know donate huge money. Larry Ellison love to wear expensive clothes, built up his body, divorced three times. He sued city of San Jose, that is why he landed his private jet on San Jose Airport at midnight without permission and San Jose tried to stop to do that.　He really hates Bill Gate because they were in the opposite circumstance when they were young but they both began their business after dropped off university and became very rich.

There is a book about Larry Ellison. The Japanese title is `Charisma` and the original title is `The Difference between God and Larry Ellison: God Doesn’t Think He’s Larry Ellison`. This means Larry Ellison think he is God.　To begin with his companies name Oracle means `message from God` in Greek.

He said;
“I can buy and do everything. I can have a shit on carpet wherever and pay a guy to clean that.”
“I am very excited that someone insists my idea is bad, because that mean my idea is good. They oppose my idea loudly strongly that have me very happy.”
“I can fire, change and hire employees anytime. Whoever whenever they quit, there is no trouble with my great company Oracle.

Many people hate like Larry Ellison guy. But it is exactly true that Oracles stock holder love him because Oracle’s stock price has been increased 26,000 percents since 1990.
