An émigré architectural historian who teaches across disciplines in California, at a public university near Apple’s lair in the Bay Area (close to San Francisco), is posting an essay.

Inside Larry Ellisonâs $1 Billion Real Estate Portfolio
Jamel Toppin/The Forbes Collection
Serial trophy home buyer Larry Ellison has added another prize to his vast real estate collection after purchasing an $80 million mansion in North Palm Beach this week, the third largest oceanfront home in the posh Florida county. The six-acre propertyâinside a gated communityâboasts more than 500 feet of ocean frontage in a neighborhood that includes fellow billionaires Robert Smith, David Tepper and Steve Wynn. The 15,514-square-foot Tuscan home has seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a theater, wine room, and a lawn big enough to accommodate a helicopter.
Ellison, 76, became the worldâs sixth $100 billion person this week. The majority of his fortune is tied to enterprise software giant Oracle, which he cofounded in 1977 and still chairs. He also holds a stake in Tesla worth more than $10 billion.

The century-old, 74-acre Green Gables estate in Woodside has come on the market for the first time ever. The property is less home and more sprawling estate, with seven houses featuring panoramic views of the Western hills and the Bay, three swimming pools, gardens, a tennis court, a football field-sized Roman pool and extensive grounds.
