Larry Ellison to build "castle bigger than a hundred Versailles"

Earlier today, Oracle CEO Larry "Lawrence" Ellison announced his latest plans. He intends to build a "mega-castle" that would span several of his Malibu properties. If there are intervening properties, he intends to build gigantic walkways over them; in some cases he will build monorails. His new residence will be up to 10 stories tall, blocking the sun on portions of one of Barbra Streisand's estates. "It'll be bigger than the friggin' MGM Grand" a jubilant Ellison told a reporter.

This latest move from Sir Ellison (Moldova) follows the news that the founder of PeopleSoft wants to build a 72,000-square-foot, three-story hamlet in Alamo, CA. That's in the East Bay near Mount Diablo:

Alamo resident Bruce Smith, whose family previously owned the 8,000-square-foot home that Duffield hopes to demolish to make room for his new house, said the land was never intended for a residence that will dwarf the 60,645-square-foot Hearst Castle and the 55,000-square-foot White House.
