Wow, I never knew that he is 70. I thought 40-something. But he looks really young. In this picture he is 69! [1]

Most of Larry Ellison's charitable contributions have been to a foundation he set up with the goal of reversing aging in Larry Ellison.

His face looks great. I think you can see his age in his arm skin.

Well he's obviously had some "work done". Which I think is great, why not? Money is surely not the problem, life's too short to look crap.

> I thought 40-something

You know Oracle was founded in the late 70's. And Ellison was a co-founder.

Indeed I thought he was mid 50s, I was kind of shocked when I read 70. I am surprised I never knew this considering.

Wow. Even after you said it I didn't really believe it, but googling confirms it - born in '44. And I thought he was younger than Gates - not 12 years older.

A 70-year-old starts a new career as a CTO? If only other high tech companies were this open-minded about employing seniors.

He was already doing the CTO job, in effect. He's just retaining that post as well as becoming Executive Chairman, where he will still be in charge....
