"Strange"- How 15 Tech Tycoons Spend Their Fortunes


#12 Larry Ellison: Anti-aging

Ever tried to guess this Oracle co-founder and CEO’s age? You may get surprised to know that he’s 68. Larry Ellison is big on the pet projects like running the America’s Cup sailboat race series, buying homes on Malibu’s “Billionaire Beach,” and turning Hawaiian island of Lanai into a sustainable living lab. But he says his biggest philanthropic endeavor is medicine. "I have a medical foundation called, very creatively, the Ellison Medical Foundation," Ellison said in an interview with All Things Digital, in a conference last year “We are focused on diseases related to aging—I mean, for obvious reasons," he added.

Ellison spent about $1 billion on this foundation.

#11 Biz Stone: Fake meat and animal rights

This Twitter cofounder is an outspoken vegan. So it’s not surprising that his Biz and Livia Stone Foundation is fighting for animal rights.

Like Khosla, Stone has backed a company making fake meat. “Beyond Meat” was funded by Stone and another Twitter cofounder, Ev Williams. It makes realistic fake chicken and will ramp up availability in 2013.
