Sunday, January 18, 2026

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, one of the wealthiest people in the technology industry, had named his 191-foot yacht "Izanami," a reference to a Japanese Shinto deity associated with creation and death. However, the name was later dropped after Ellison was informed that when spelled in reverse, it reads "I'm a Nazi," a phrase widely considered offensive. The incident was detailed in a profile published by Vulture. Following this discovery, the yacht's name was changed, the report said.
