Billionaire Larry Ellison lists Florida mansion for $145 million

Abstract

Tech billionaire Larry Ellison is chasing history in South Florida, listing his prized property in North Palm Beach for $145 million. It's an ambitious ask considering he paid $80 million for the home last year. The Oracle co-founder set the record himself earlier this year when he paid $173 million for an even larger place a few miles down the coast. Ellison - whom Forbes lists at the sixth-richest person in the world with a net worth of $110 billion - collects prized real estate like kids collect baseball cards. His trophy estate in North Palm Beach offers an almost unprecedented amount of space along the ocean with 563 feet of water frontage. With extra space comes extra security; it's hidden behind two sets of gates in Seminole Landing, an exclusive enclave with just 65 homes. Lawns and palm trees populate the compound, leading to a 15,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion with six bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms.
