Who: Larry Ellison

What: America’s Cup in S.F. Bay

Why: The billionaire certainly could afford to jet anywhere in the world for the America’s Cup sailing race, but he could also have it in his own backyard. Ellison, whose BMW Oracle Racing sailing team has the right to pick the site, may select the Bay, which would allow him to stay home and enjoy the festivities.
