What Could the Top 6 Forbes Billionaires Actually Buy With Their Fortunes?

6. Larry Ellison ($211 billion) – Could Buy the Moon (Literally)

Oracle’s founder already owns 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai, but $211 billion could acquire something much larger: the moon . While the Outer Space Treaty prohibits national ownership of celestial bodies, the legal loophole for private ownership remains murky. Private lunar land sales have occurred—the “Lunar Embassy” famously sold moon plots for $20 per acre, generating about $10 million in total sales. At that rate, Ellison could buy every single acre of the moon’s 9.3 billion acres approximately 20,000 times over. He could theoretically purchase enough lunar property to build a private colony, rename it “Ellison’s Rock,” and charge Bezos rent for any future Amazon lunar delivery station.
