The world's richest, most ruthless, and underrated CEO:
Larry Ellison.
• Has a net worth of $206 billion
• Mentored Elon Musk and Steve Jobs
• Hired private investigators to spie on Microsoft
Here's his blueprint for success (that made Steven and Musk over $400B)🧵: https://t.co/fWLwfaDTfT
Larry isn't your average rich CEO.
He's the "bad boy" of tech -- dating super models, owning fighter jets, and spies on other companies, and fights with other CEOs in public like Bill Gates.
He's the inspiration for Tony Stark.
And his approach to business is just as bold...
Be a Visionary
Ellison taught Musk and Jobs to dream big but to be realistic.
Elon wanted electric cars since the early 2000s but they only became a thing in the late 2010s.
A big vision is nothing without a plan that includes real, actionable steps.
Product First.
The best companies don't chase trends to succeed.
Tesla spends $0 on ads, has no Chief Marketing Officer, and no PR team.
Yet, they're still the biggest car manufacturer in the world, worth $1.1 trillion.
Make a product so good that it sells itself.
Be Delusionally Optimistic
If you're going to change the world, the odds are always against you.
Most people who start have failed.
People will call you crazy, but no one who ever changed the world. https://t.co/2PEaUgkB9w
Play By Your Own Rules
Ellison never followed the rules.
Neither did Steve and Musk.
Find the flaws in the conventional rules and innovate to move forward.
No one ever became successful by following other people's orders.
Relentless Obsession With Being The Best
For Steve and Elon, "good enough" was never good enough.
Their obsession with detail and quality is what set them apart.

Do Not Limit Yourself
Most people tell themselves:
"I'm not good enough" or "business is not for me".
Larry dropped out of college, TWICE.
Yet he's still the 4th richest man.
The only thing stopping you is the belief you have in yourself.
Take Calculated Risks
In 2018, Larry bought $1B of Tesla shares, now that's worth ~$15B
And he also helped Elon buy Twitter by giving him $1B, that is now worth $7B.
Speaking of taking calculated risks... https://t.co/n0B51ep1aV
The creator economy is expected to reach $500B (~3x the size now) in the next few years (Goldman Sachs).
