Billionaire Larry Ellison, co-founder of a major media and entertainment company, recently renamed his 191-foot yacht after discovering that its original name, Izanami, spelled backwards formed a vulgar antisemitic phrase. Ellison, who has strong ties to Israel and is known for his record-breaking philanthropy, reportedly chose the name for its reference to a Shinto goddess, unaware of the unintended reverse meaning. The incident quickly drew widespread mockery online, with many comparing it to plotlines from popular television dramas about wealthy families. Ellison, whose personal life and business connections often make headlines, acted swiftly to change the vessel's name after learning of the mistake.
