Comment to "Jawed" "added photo of Larry Ellison", not very flattering picture. - Jerryseinfeld 23:59, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I can't believe that's the best picture of the guy we can find. - Matthew.Townsend 12:10, 30 Dec 2004 (EST)

It is the best picture of him in existence. Jawed 08:23, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I think it's a hilarious photo and burst out laughing when I saw it, but I think leaving it in the article must be a violation of -something-. --NeuronExMachina 10:10, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It's a funny picture to be sure, but it wouldn't be very flattering to use that photograph in an encyclopedia. We can use a different picture without adding any sort of bias, so I think we should. - furrykef (Talk at me) 20:53, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Larry would like the baseball pic. He regularly eats competitors for lunch.

This article needs a picture of Ellison when younger e.g. https://forbexsuccesstories.blogspot.com/2014/10/21-incredibly-amazing-larry-ellison.html Asto77 (talk) 14:21, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First Paragraph

Quoting the Article: "At South Shore High School, he was a bright but inattentive student. At 15, he began a long-term relationship that lasted for five years and ended sorely—depending on who is asked, he unsuccessfully proposed marriage either once or twice."

What? The paragraph starts with him being in school, then jumps to him "starting a long term relationship" and "proposing marriage"... where did this come from? Then nothing else is said about the relationship in the rest of the paragraph....

Larry Ellison net worth

His net worth is about $27 Billion in 2008. His payment is about $72 Million.

Category addition - background

Larry Ellison’s mother was an unwed 19-year-old at the time of his birth. After he contracted pneumonia at the age of nine months, his Jewish mother allowed her aunt and uncle to adopt him.http://www.jspace.com/news/articles/the-jewish-billionaires-of-forbes/8044

Who is a Jew? -According to halakha, a Jew by birth must be born to a Jewish mother. Halakha states that the acceptance of the principles and practices of Judaism does not make a person a Jew. But, those born Jewish do not lose that status because they cease to be observant Jews, even if they adopt the practices of another religion.^[1] Major Torp (talk) 17:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect. They take converts, of any ethnicity. There are qualifications, but it can be done. 2A00:23C3:E284:900:65BF:9B44:E4FD:3C1A (talk) 13:00, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
