Builders of the new economy

How much Botox has Larry had now?

As much as money can buy, unlimited.

So does Abe use an Oracle database to produce the new Japanese economic figures?

Anyone else think Larry looks like Michael Rourke? No offense intended to either of them.

Larry Ellison looks an evil character from an 80's action movie :)

What has Oracle got to do with enhancing the Japanese economy? I don't quite gte it.

I remain in jealous awe, regardless, of Mr. Ellison's spectacular and vast, classical Japanese home near Nanzenji in Kyoto, built by a zaibatsu tycoon in the Meiji Era. It's amazing the characteristically anti-foreigner elite of that self-celebrating city allowed such an investment - or encroachment, as they no doubt consider it. I wonder, at the same time, exactly how deeply he actually grasps Japan and the Japanese mentality. Or is that important?

I ATTEMPTED to get "Certified" in Oracle ( I by NO means have a CPU for a brain ). A girl I know who does IT ( Majored in Data Base Technology ) and works for a major company told me she HATES that software....doesn't use it. No WONDER I couldn't understand it, and dropped out of that cirriculum..too bad, I could have been RICH.

@CHAMADE "What has Oracle got to do with enhancing the Japanese economy?"

You might equally ask what Abe has got do with it.

The only New Economy that will work is a truely sustainable economy i.e. zero growth and valued in terms of welbeing not simply capitalist wealth.

"Anyone else think Larry looks like Michael Rourke?"

Yeah, I think so too...good eye. Or maybe an older Chuck Norris; in any event, his yacht is bigger than (anyone else's) yacht.

The dude looks like a vampire from Blade movies

New economy may be like Abenomics(?) By the way Oracle shares are tumbling, look at Nasdaq (!)

Awesome picture. Larry Ellison is one of a kind!

The book Softwars is a good read, his description of Bill Gates is classic, as is the profile of his lady. Just look what real language input data base systems can buy you.

Oh man, Abe is clearly horrible. We should just have all the posters on JT run the government/BoJ, then obviously all the problems would be solved, especially since most of the posters here aren't from Japan.

On a more serious note, Larry Ellison is one of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world; should be admired for his company and advancement of tech among other things.

Funny how some of us make some personal comments on people who definitely have what most if not all of us don't have.
