Given the advances in medicine, all therapies he's receiving, the mountain of money he's sitting on - what do you think how long is he going to live. It's OK to use AI to get a response, fire away. And dont get me wrong, I do not wish him ill and I hope he has a long and happy life (but as far away from me please).
I'd bet money on 120 years. Also his ilk will probably go over 150.
Larry has enough money to access the best doctors, experimental treatments, and pretty much any longevity research available, so I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it well into his 90s or even past 100. But 120 or 150 seems pretty unrealistic. Genetics, biology, and plain old luck still matter, and nobody has figured out how to stop aging. AI might eventually accelerate medical breakthroughs, but there's a big difference between extending a healthy lifespan and somehow making people live forever. Money buys options, not guarantees.
What I find more interesting is whether Larry will ever voluntarily step away from Oracle. He's already built an empire, accumulated more wealth than anyone could reasonably spend, and still seems determined to remain involved in everything. I wouldn't be surprised if he's making major decisions right up until his final days. The bigger question is what happens to Oracle when he's no longer around. So much of the company's identity and direction has been tied to one person for decades. That's a much more interesting question than whether he makes it to 100 or 120.
LE must live forever
You know how they say the Simpsons predicts everything? He's gotta be Montgomery Burns.....
@m0 need a kalshi prediction market pool
@OP he is immortal just like Elmo and F*ckerberg.
Dump on the other hand, is co-starring in the remake of Weekend at Bernies. He is playing the guy who doesn't say anything.
Since you guys have way too much time on your hands, here's a new project for you: Look into the couple with a half-century age gap and submit an anonymous tip to ICE. With a gap like that, there has to be a fascinating backstory. Go uncover all their secrets ;0);0);0);0);0)
@OP Of course Long Long Live till 120, Current wife is only 33! 47-year age GAP
Who can beat that? ;0);0);0);0);0);0)
Pool. Who goes first? LE or DJT
@dd A long life and a short life are just moments in eternity.
@e5 He's investing in these companies
Cryonics is the low-temperature freezing and storage of human remains in the hope that resurrection may be possible in the future.
Don't, worry he is planning to be like Mr. House, uploading whatever conscious he has into the Cloud, to keep tormenting everyone.
Long enough to buy another island and ensure we all are eating our cockroaches in the tiny apartments they will force us to rent for 4k a month.
I bet that Larry will outlive a lot of us, just saying
Don't care what he does with software and infrastructure business. Keep him out of Pharma/Medicine... it's kinda late though... He's trying to catch up with cousin Dr. Gates.
Remember the Silicon Valley show where they showed you where research was decades ago. It's futuristic fiction only for the mainstream.
One lived how he will remembered
For all we know, he may be one of Ray Kurzweil’s friends and is praying that singularity will come. But before that he’d be happy to get to “longevity escape velocity”. That might explain why Oracle put everything on AI.
Man is born, man lives, man dies.
And it's all vanity.
You can have the best doctors, therapies and money in the world, but our bodies still wear out. You get on the merry-go-round, you go around, and sooner or later the ride ends.
Time is undefeated. You are born and you will die. Make the most of your time and make sure to leave those whom you meet have positive memories when they think of you. Don't take life too seriously. Always look on the bright side of life :)
Therapies and medicine can give you a little more time but our bodies just wear out. How he lived his early life will matter too as well as genetics. He wasn't always a billionaire. When he was starting Oracle he worked long hard hours which take a toll.
120 sounds about right. he will be involved til the last day though.
