The wealth of the world’s 10 richest people also soared by a record amount, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index. The biggest gainer was Elon Musk, the world’s richest person and one of Trump’s most outspoken and dedicated supporters, whose wealth jumped $26.5 billion to $290 billion Wednesday, according to Bloomberg. Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group, Trump’s social media company, also cashed in with shares skyrocketing in value after CNN and other media outlets projected Trump won. Trump is the dominant shareholder in the conservative social media company, which has scant revenue and is losing money. The president-elect’s 114.75 million shares were worth about $5.3 billion briefly based on those early gains, up from $3.9 billion when trading ended on Election Day.

▼ + stars: | 2024-10-28 | by ( Ashley Capoot | In | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Oracle on Monday announced it intends to join a new federally-backed medical network that will make it easier for clinics, hospitals and insurance companies to share patients' data. Oracle, which acquired the medical records giant Cerner for $28 billion in 2022, is the latest major vendor to support TEFCA, joining its chief rival Epic Systems. Oracle needs to be approved to join TEFCA, but its interest in doing so helps to bolster the nascent network's credibility. "This is just a natural next step," Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, told CNBC in an interview. The main groups that participate in health-data exchanges through TEFCA are called qualified health information networks, or QHINs.

An unlikely technology billionaire could come out on top in the battle of the world's richest a year from now. That briefly positioned Ellison as the richest person in the world behind Musk and ahead of Bezos. This could boost the ex-CEO's fortune by $27.8 billion to $203.9 billion, placing him less than $3 billion behind Ellison in stock value. That could mean a windfall for CEO Huang's stock fortune, lifting his stake by $27.2 billion to $128.7 billion. Musk's Tesla stake could decline nearly 11% to $89.6 billion from roughly $100.3 billion as of Thursday's close.

For the past three years, software stocks have suffered as revenue growth softened, and investors remain skeptical about when it will return. For Oracle, that's its cloud infrastructure — a service that has improved Oracle's fundamental growth story, Walravens argued. This strategic move positioned Oracle as a key player in AI, fueling growth in its infrastructure as a services (IaaS) business.

Wall Street appears to have given Nvidia a mulligan. A number of positive headlines around AI demand have lifted Nvidia and other stocks that benefit from the adoption of the buzzy tech.

The Investing Club also has a stake in Broadcom, which like Nvidia had been punished after its recent earnings report.

Oracle 's best week on the stock market since 2021 has bolstered Chairman Larry Ellison's net worth, briefly edging him past Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Friday to become the world's second-richest person. Ellison's net worth reached $208.4 billion shortly after the market open, then fell to $199 billion, according to Forbes' real-time billionaires list. Bezos, who has claimed the title of world's second-richest person on and off over the years, is worth $205 billion. Bezos, 60, and Ellison, 80, are jockeying for the title of world's second-richest person three days after their companies forged a new partnership. "With Oracle Database to be able to run AWS, Microsoft and Google, is incredibly important," Ellison said on the call.
