Larry Ellison likes to win — and he's good at it.
According to Forbes, the tech mogul recently got $5 billion richer over the course of just two days.
Ellison came from a poor background and dropped out of college twice. In what proved to be a true "rags to riches" story, the billionaire cofounded software company Oracle in 1977 and acquired a reputation as Silicon Valley's bad boy in the ensuing decades.
But what does Ellison — whom Forbes estimated is worth $61.5 billion — get up to every day since stepping down as Oracle's CEO in 2014? Make no mistake, the tech mogul isn't retired — he's still the company's chief technology officer and chairman.
Here's a look at the daily life of Oracle founder Larry Ellison:
