Larry Ellison, Oracle's cofounder and former CEO, has an extensive real estate portfolio.
His holdings include multiple homes in California, as well as 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai.

Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison is the fifth-richest person in the world, with a net worth of more than $169 billion, according to Forbes. With a portfolio valued at over $1 billion, Ellison is no stranger to the real estate market.

And it looks like he's not done adding to it. In August, the billionaire paid an undisclosed price for the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa — a 309-room resort. His empire includes a mix of residential properties, resorts, and almost an entire Hawaiian island.

When once asked why he would buy more homes than he could possibly live in, Ellison referenced his love of art.

"I'm going to start these art museums that are basically converted homes," Ellison told CNBC in 2012. "I have one for modern art, and I have one for 19th-century European art and one for French impressionism."

He's been dubbed the "nation's most avid trophy-home buyer" by the Wall Street Journal, so here are all the houses and properties belonging to the cofounder of Oracle.

Larry Ellison bought this $3.9 million home in San Francisco's swanky Pacific Heights neighborhood in 1988, more than 10 years after founding Oracle.
