The Wealthy Elite Turn Their Eyes to Media Acquisitions
September 12, 2025 - 17:23
When you're one of the world's richest men, you can afford to buy anything you want, including a media giant. First, it was Elon Musk making headlines with his acquisition of a major social media platform. Now, Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, has joined the ranks of billionaires venturing into the media landscape.
Ellison's recent move to purchase a significant stake in a prominent media company underscores a growing trend among the ultra-wealthy. These acquisitions are not just about financial gain; they reflect a desire to influence public discourse and shape narratives in an increasingly polarized world.
As technology continues to evolve, the intersection of wealth and media becomes ever more pronounced. The implications of these acquisitions could reshape how information is disseminated and consumed. With Musk and Ellison at the helm, the media industry may be on the brink of significant transformation, raising questions about the future of journalism and the role of billionaires in shaping public opinion.
