From the
Associated Press:
Oracle Corp. (NASDAQ: ORCL) founder Larry Ellison, a longtime fixture on the list
of the world's richest people, is now ensconced atop The Associated
Press' rankings of the top-paid chief executives in the United States.
Never
shy about flaunting his estimated $25 billion fortune, Ellison
established himself as the best-paid CEO among major U.S. companies by
persuading Oracle to award him a fiscal 2008 pay package valued at
$84.6 million under the AP's calculations.
