LARRY ELLISON
What kind of man buys 98 percent of a 141-square-mile Hawaiian island? A supervillain bent on world domination, that's who. Yes, the Oracle founder says he intends the island of Lanai to be a laboratory for sustainable energy ideas, but that's just the sort of thing a supervillain would say. Still not convinced? Larry Ellison -- whose personal motto is Genghis Khan's creed "It's not sufficient I succeed. Everyone else must fail" -- owns an Italian fighter jet that he flies himself and was blocked by the U.S. government from importing a MIG-29 for personal use.
