Last I read Larry makes 1.6 BILLION US DOLLARS a year. I don't think you can ever spend that much money.

For what it's worth, Larry Ellison also personally started and funds the Ellison Medical Foundation, which distributes on the order of 100 million dollars (cite: wikipedia: Larry Ellison) per year to leading academic biologists for research into the diseases of the elderly and how to stop them. Grant recipients are selected by a panel of scientists.
Larry seems to take this as a challenge.
Larry's taste includes fighter jets...
pretty easy to spend that buying a few private jets and yachts. 1.6 billion ain't what it used to be.
