The Fabulous Life Of Oracle Heiress Megan Ellison

Megan Ellison was born on January 31, 1986 in Santa Clara County, California. Her mother is Barbara Boothe, Larry Ellison's third wife. The couple was married in 1983 and split in 1986, when Megan was only four months old. Like her father, Megan was rebellious and tough from a young age. She posted this photo of herself to her Twitter account with the caption, "You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else."

Though Larry lives the flashy life you'd expect of a multi-billionaire, his ex-wife Barbara leads a quieter existence as the owner of Wild Turkey Farm in Wilsonville, Oregon.

When Megan was young, she began to develop an interest in horses during visits to her mother's Woodside spread. She started competing in some of the top riding competitions in the country, including the Young Rider Championships. She's seen here on a stallion named LioCalyon, competing in a High Juniors competition in Los Angeles.

Still, despite being raised primarily by their mother, both Megan and her brother David were spoiled rotten by Larry. The siblings have both gone on to pursue careers in the film industry, and are said to be highly competitive with each other. A source told Vanity Fair that thanks to Larry, Megan has "a real understanding about money. In the halls of his jet, she's seen some world-class hustlers."

The kids often went on vacations with their father, and Megan once boated in St. Tropez with Khaled, son of Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed. Her first car as a teenager was a Lexus 430SC convertible like the one seen here, though she has since upgraded to a grey 1989 Aston Martin.

Megan spent two semesters at USC's School of Cinematic Arts before dropping out to travel the world in 2005. One of her destinations was the Himalayas, where she spent some time trekking on a mountain called Annapurna.

That mountain would later inspire the name for her movie production company, Annapurna Pictures. After returning from her travels, she began financing a series of low-budget films. For a time, she was mentored by Dreamworks cofounder David Geffen, a friend of her father. It wasn't until 2011, when on her 25th birthday she was granted access to a great deal of trust-fund wealth, that her career really began to take off.

It was around that time that she bought three homes in the Bird Streets neighborhood of Hollywood, where she based the headquarters of the new production company. The work atmosphere was casual, and the team often held meetings by the pool.

Annapurna has found a great deal of success in recent years. Ellison's first major producing credit was "True Grit," which she financed with her brother David. In 2012, she produced "Zero Dark Thirty," which earned multiple Best Picture nominations. Ellison celebrated the wrap of the shoot by yachting around St. Tropez and Portofino with a group of friends that included Jessica Chastain, who won an Oscar for her role in Ellison's film.

Like her mansion-collecting father, Ellison has also made a name for herself as a real estate tycoon. After Annapurna learned that it was being evicted from its Hollywood Hills headquarters, Ellision sold all three of the Bird Street homes for a combined $46.7 million. She reportedly netted $14.15 million in the deals, which were completed in November of 2013.

In January of 2014, she paid $30 million for this 9,204-square-foot mansion in the Hollywood Hills. Complete with a grotto pool, a volleyball court, and incredible views of the city, the home is certainly fit for a major Hollywood player.
