Key Background:
Oracle has been experiencing a wonderful year in 2025; its founder, Larry Ellison, has become wealthier, and its CEO, Safra Catz, is a billionaire. Catz, who has led the company for more than ten years, is now worth around $3.4 billion after Oracle’s recent stock rise.
The 48-year-old company’s stock has doubled so far this year and jumped over 30% in just one week following a strong earnings report. This expansion has made the value of Oracle exceed $920 billion, more than other large corporations such as Walmart and JPMorgan Chase. Investors have been very positive, especially because Oracle is working with major global companies, including OpenAI, Meta, Nvidia, AMD, and xAI.
“Clearly, we had an amazing start to the year because Oracle has become the go-to place for AI workloads,” Catz said during a recent earnings call. Her strong leadership and focus on new ideas have made Oracle a top cloud services company, even in a competitive market.
Catz’s journey is inspiring for women in business. She has graduated twice from the University of Pennsylvania, began her career on Wall Street, and ultimately became part of Oracle, where she eventually became a CEO. Her approach emphasizes excellence and originality: “We don’t want to follow others,” she said earlier this year.
Her wealth primarily comes from stock options, including sales worth $1.8 billion earlier this year, complementing her $950,000 base salary. Ellison has benefited a lot from the 4500 percent increase in Oracle in the last five years, and Catz has become one of the richest self-made women in the world.
She is an active leader who listens to others and motivates employees to share their ideas with her because it helps make superior decisions.
Given the intent to make Oracle’s business reach a point of 144 billion dollars in the next three years, Catz remains at the helm of the company’s success and inspires women in business and technology.
