Where Does Larry Ellison Live in Florida? Inside His Manalapan Estate

Where does Larry Ellison live? The Oracle co-founder's Florida home is a 16-acre ocean-to-lake estate in Manalapan, a small barrier-island town just south of Palm Beach. He paid $173 million for it in 2022, a Florida record at the time, per the Palm Beach Post. Since then he has bought the resort next door and a $34 million lot to expand the grounds. He also owns a large estate up the coast in North Palm Beach. Here is what the reporting says about each piece.

Key takeaways

• Ellison's main Florida home is a 16-acre estate in Manalapan that once belonged to Netscape co-founder Jim Clark.
• He paid a then-record $173 million in 2022, and in July 2026 added a neighboring lot for $34.4 million, per The Real Deal.
• He also bought the Eau Palm Beach resort for $277.4 million and an 8-acre North Palm Beach estate for $80 million.
• Manalapan has only about 17 active listings, with a median list price near $69 million, per our MLS feed as of September 2026.

Where does Larry Ellison live in Florida?

Ellison's estate is in Manalapan, a town of fewer than 400 residents on the barrier island between Palm Beach and Boynton Beach in Palm Beach County. The town is a strip of ocean-to-lake estates with one road running through it and no commercial district beyond a single resort. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses, so Manalapan is as specific as this post gets.

The town's appeal is simple. Lots are large, the beach is private, and every house has water on both sides. That combination does not exist in Palm Beach proper, where most lots are under an acre. It is why Point Manalapan and the ocean road have drawn buyers who want the island lifestyle without the island's crowds.

Ellison is the biggest name there, but not the first billionaire. Jim Clark, who co-founded Netscape, assembled the estate he bought. The town has held a series of finance and technology owners for years. Manalapan is now a place where the tech industry's founders keep their East Coast homes.

Inside the reported estate

The Palm Beach Post reported the 2022 purchase at $173 million, then the highest price ever paid for a Florida home. The compound covers about 16 acres, with 1,200 feet on the Atlantic and 1,300 feet along Lake Worth. Tunnels under the road connect the two sides. Reporting counts more than 30 bedrooms across a main house, two beachside cottages and two additional houses.

The grounds include a pool, a golf area, a tennis court and a half-basketball court. Those details come from the listing at the time of the sale, so they describe the property as Clark left it. Ellison has not spoken publicly about what he has changed since, and no design magazine has visited.

The estate keeps growing. In July 2026 The Real Deal reported that Ellison paid $34.4 million for a neighboring lot, expanding the compound further along the coast. The Boca Raton Tribune covered the same deal. Assembling land next to an existing estate is a common move for owners at this level. A larger contiguous parcel is worth more than two separate ones.

Why Larry Ellison chose Manalapan

Ellison has not given a reason in interviews, so the record has to speak. Fortune tallied roughly $450 million in Florida real estate purchases within a few years of the first deal. That suggests the state is a base and not a one-off. Florida has no state income tax. Ellison had already moved his primary residence from California to Hawaii in 2020, so the tax logic was familiar.

The purchases also fit together on a map. In 2024 he paid $277.4 million for the Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa, per the Palm Beach Post. That oceanfront hotel sits beside the Manalapan estate. A year later he bought Lion Country Safari, the drive-through animal park in western Palm Beach County, for $30 million. Owning the neighboring resort gives the estate privacy and control over what happens next door.

Where else does Larry Ellison live?

Ellison owns homes in more places than almost anyone. His primary residence since 2020 has been on Lanai, the Hawaiian island he owns nearly all of. Robb Report has catalogued a portfolio worth close to $2 billion that includes estates in California, Japan, Newport, Rhode Island, and Lake Tahoe. Florida is a recent addition by that standard.

Within Florida he holds a second big property. In April 2021 he paid $80 million for an estate on about 8 acres in North Palm Beach, per Forbes. It sits in the gated Seminole Landing community. He first filed plans to demolish the 15,500-square-foot house, then changed course and listed the property for $145 million in August 2022. Reporting since then has not confirmed a sale, so the property's current status is unclear.

What homes near Larry Ellison cost

Manalapan is the most expensive town in South Florida by median list price, and it is not close. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows just 17 active listings there with a median near $69 million. The average is about 694 days on market. Those long marketing times are normal at this level, because the buyer pool for a $50 million house is tiny.

For most buyers the practical comparison is nearby. Palm Beach has about 272 listings with a median near $2.5 million. North Palm Beach, where Ellison's second estate sits, has about 299 listings with a median near $514,000. Buyers who want ocean frontage at any scale can start with beachfront homes across the county. Those with estate budgets can compare luxury homes from Jupiter Island down to Manalapan.

The two small towns just south of Manalapan are the closest match for the same barrier island without the record prices. Ocean Ridge shows about 65 active listings with a median near $1.9 million and about 124 days on market. Gulf Stream, one town further down, shows about 13 listings with a median near $5.5 million and about 283 days on market. Both share the same ocean and the same Intracoastal frontage, and both trade far more often than Manalapan does.
