Larry Ellison flew from Honolulu to Palm Beach International on June 2, 2026, landing just before 4:15 a.m. Eastern after an eight-hour, 52-minute crossing in his Gulfstream G650, N817GS. The trip followed a day-long visit to Lanai — the Hawaiian island Ellison owns roughly 98 percent of — and a short hop from Palm Beach to Honolulu the day prior.

The same week Ellison returned to Florida, Oracle is nearing the close of its year-end fiscal quarter, and Ellison’s controlling stake in Paramount Skydance — acquired in a deal that closed in late 2025 — continues to generate board-level discussions around studio restructuring and AI integration, per a February 2026 filing. Ellison maintains a 16-acre estate in Manalapan, roughly 20 minutes from the airport, and the return fits his pattern of frequent Palm Beach stays between West Coast and international trips.

Of 71 trackable flights this year, 50 began or ended in Florida, with no other destination approaching that density. Ellison’s schedule typically alternates between Florida and California, with occasional Lanai visits; this trip follows that rhythm — a brief island pause followed by a late-night return to his primary residence and corporate headquarters in Redwood City.
