Businessman, Larry Ellison, recently surpassed Elon Musk to become the world’s richest man. The Oracle founder’s wealth skyrocketed to $393 billion and overtook the Tesla guru’s staggering $384 billion fortune. At the age of 81, Larry has been married five times, and enjoys a lavish lifestyle. So, who is the woman who has held his heart for seven years and is almost five decades his junior?
Meet Jolin Zhu
Larry has been married to his current wife for approximately seven years but the date of their marriage hasn’t been made public. She’s a Chinese native who only arrived in the US in 2010. At the time, she came to America to pursue a bachelor’s degree in international studies at the University of Michigan.
$10 million deal
Jolin played a huge role in Larry’s multi-million dollar deal when NFL quarterback Bryce Underwood — who was only 17 at the time — moved from Louisiana State University to the Michigan Wolverines, Jolin’s alma mater.
Champions Circle chairman Nate Forbes, revealed her input, and their marital status in a statement that read: “We are very excited to keep Bryce home in Michigan as he continues to build his legacy. I want to personally thank Larry and his wife Jolin who were instrumental in making this happen by providing Champions Circle with invaluable guidance and financial resources.”
She comes from money
Before her romance with Larry, Jolin was reportedly living in a modest $2,600 a month apartment rental in California’s Bay Area. The Daily Mail said her home was near the Oracle headquarters and she may have landed herself a job there, which is how she met Larry.

His former wives

The split was put down to Larry’s exuberant spending habits, according to The Sun. Larry’s marriage to second wife, Nancy Wheeler Jenkins, was a whirlwind. He married her after a year of meeting and they divorced after six months.
He had two children with his third wife, Barbara Boothe, who he tied the knot with in 1983. They split three years later. Romance novelist Melanie Croft, became Larry’s fourth wife. Steve Jobs photographed their nuptials. They divorced in 2010 after approximately seven years of marriage.
