Larry Ellison, right, was pro­pelled past fel­low tech bil­lion­aire Elon Musk, left, yes­ter­day to take the crown as the world’s richest per­son.

The value of the Oracle co-founder’s stake in the soft­ware group was worth $387bn alone after its shares rose more than 40 per cent fol­low­ing bumper res­ults. Musk’s worth is about $384bn, Bloomberg’s Bil­lion­aire Index says.

Oracle’s rapid growth caught traders by sur­prise after it said rev­enue from its infra­struc­ture unit would jump from $18bn this year to $144bn in five years — nearly 60 per cent higher than the $91bn that Wall Street had expec­ted.

Before yes­ter­day’s surge to $334, Oracle’s share price had already gained more than 40 per cent this year. Its mar­ket value rose from $466bn at the start of the year to $943bn yes­ter­day.
