About Lawrence Investments
Lawrence Investments is the single family office of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, founded in 1997 and based in Walnut Creek, California. Its principal role is to manage and act as a holding company for entities that make and hold private-equity and other investments on Ellison's behalf. Day-to-day management sits with a deliberately lean team led by president Paul Marinelli, reflecting Ellison's preference for confidentiality and speed.
The structure is genuinely multi-entity, tied to the Lawrence J. Ellison Revocable Trust and the Larry Ellison Foundation, and extends into operating interests such as Ellison's ownership of the Hawaiian island of Lanai (through Pulama Lanai) and, more recently, large media commitments associated with the Ellison family. Historically focused on technology and real estate, the office has been unusually active and high-profile in recent years.
